Camden Fire - soot on car - deepwith

Daughter left her bright yellow car in the residents bay nearest what turned out to be the Camden Market fire - leaving just as the first fire engine was arriving that evening.
After a worried few days, she returned to London on the Thursday to find her car was undamaged but completely black! It has been repeatedly washed over the past week or so, including a 'professional' wash and wax. This weekend she drove drove down to Hamble and found the car was striped like a tiger! Cleaned again and on her return to Camden her stripes were back. Soot obviously deep in cracks, grilles etc.
So, if any of you Londoner BR'ers see a brunette in a tiger camouflage car - that's my girl!

Camden Fire - soot on car - Lud

The World's Best Pub (as I sentimentally but probably inaccurately call it) where I often go is only about 300 yards from the site of that fire. I went through the area on the night and expected delays - didn't go too near the actual place of course - but found none.

Smelt it in the air in that part of town though.
