Now that's what I call redevelopment

There's a lot of speculation doing the rounds at present regarding the intended destination for the huge seizure of ammonium nitrate yesterday - which, incidentally, was found in a warehouse less than half a mile away from the house where I grew up. The current theory seems to suggest that, after its incorporation into a bomb, the stuff might have been detonated in one of the large shopping centres on the M25.

Lets think about this for a moment and consider the possiblity that this centre might have been Lakeside Thurrock. Were it only possible for this to happen without injury or loss of life, which of course is unlikely in the extreme, think what an opportunity to improve the English countryside we could have been given!
