Well...erm...err....oh yeah, about 5 months or so ago they had a fire on their roof. I was watching from upstairs and was probably the first to spot it, you know, since I've been sitting there with binoculars for the last few years and all! At first we thought it was just buggered air conditioning or something and then the fire engines turned up. Other than that nothing to report. And unfortunately I've since left that company as it has been closed down but at least those developers over there don't have to worry about me staring at them from across the road any more! :-)
