8 years ago I decided to boycott @Ryanair. Flying with them again this week & I'm already regretting it. The baggage policy is an absolute piss take. This time I mean it, I will never fly with #Ryanair again. @easyJet pls pls start up BRS - VLC again. #ladrones #moderndaytheives

A drones eye view of last night's fire in Speedwell Bristol. The fire is now under control and some roads have reopened, but this is still a live operation. Please be patient & monitor @ASPolice & @AvonFireRescue for updates.
