Fook! this is what me n the mrs heard then! We were about 15 miles away near Aylesbury.

Fooking was a loud bang, again sounding like someone banging the door, but her old's have just had a big tv and sound system installed and we thought it was her old chap putting the tv on as it was up loud from the night before so just wen't back to bed

Noticed the M1 was still closed tonight on my way home

diamonds, we used to have an old mk1 xr2,and just as i bought it we had a really cold snap, so not knowing how much(if any) antifreeze was in it i thought it a good idea to move it right up against the house!!an error of judgement ensued lol!car wasnt damaged though

my dad was up at 4 am watching the cricket and heard the bang - he thought my mum fell out of bed

I didnt hear a thing tho.

And the clouds are coming over to slough.

I was at a friends farmhouse on the outskirts of Northampton, and we heard the first blast!

It was just after 6am and it freaked us out as we'd been awake for quite a while at that point, it shook the house, the curtains blew inwards (windows were shut) and it was like an odd rumble noise.
We all looked at each other and said "what the fook was that?!".
We put it down to a minor earthquake or a fighter jet going over.

We didnt switch on the tv until 11am when we realised what had happened.

Oh and then coming back tonight was going to have to come off the M1 a J10 but 5.40pm the reopened the M!, result, tho when driving past the area only then relised how close it was, and see the pics of the fire on the news it dont seem all that! Well seeing the flames / fire for real in the dark, put it in prospective, it was just emmence and unbeleivable!
