Black smoke over London

[acb]

The sky looked very blue this afternoon. I was expecting a black Mordorian pall swallowing the sky, thanks to the Buncefield* fuel depot explosion and the headlines about it. Chances are it was still full of toxic particles; I wonder how many normal London days' worth of life-shortening power was in the pollution today.

* What is a bunce anyway? Is it like a dunce, a ponce or a nonce?
