I don't have a connection with anybody involved on the day of the disaster, but my dad was one of the bricklayers who built the chimneys that were knocked down the other day ;D ;D

He was there when the queen came to open them.  He said she had really blue eyes - I said it must have been all the blue blood ;D

Golly it's a small world isn't it. My dad was there when Sellafield opened too... 1955-56??? Have a pic of him in a gathering when the Queen opened the place. We lived in Seascale for years till we emigrated.  :)
