"All trains between London Euston and Milton Keynes have been suspended because of a fire at the side of the line.
It was caused by 25,000 volt overhead electric cables coming down in Harrow."

"As predicted the extreme temperatures have impacted the overhead cables on the west coast main line and all trains have had to be stopped at Harrow in north London."

How does heat make cables fall down?

Glad to hear that you can guarantee to resurrect the people you crash INTO.
The trouble with modern society is people don't like tiny risks. The other trouble is they believe the media, when a government study actually showed that only 4% of accidents involving fatalities or serious injuries involved excess speed.

Anyway, there is precisely zero the government control freaks can do to prevent me speeding.

A stay in jail would woek,

Having opened an office, 30' * 20', first thing in the morning, where the whole false ceiling had fallen down overnight. I can say that none of the light fittings came down glass tube first,. They all came down sharp edge or even sharper corner first, one was embedded corner first in a desk, and ended up leaning against a CRT monitor. And another had landed on a chair, ripping the cloth covering, before falling to the floor.
I've had two light fittings (4 foot) in my living room come down overnight (parrot's fault). But then they're lightweight LED plastic fittings so damaged nothing. Do people really still use fluorescent?

I have a few seldom used cfls

These pesky contests show up and upset the projects which they victimize. In this case that does not effect me very much because I only crunch GWs over @EAH and they pay much less than pulsars and I do not care about Boinc credits.
