I saw this too. I wasn't a fan of it at first when it was built, but its grown on me and it does feel very much like a London landmark building now. I'm probably 5-6 miles away from it, but the wind doesn't seem too bad now, more blustery than anything here.
I've been out putting screws in the garage roof (corrugated tin sheeting) which was in danger of being torn off. Ok not quite on the same scale....
I know it's not funny but have you seen who fire station commander is called. Chris Kamara. All I've got is visions of you know who commentating on sky news.
