Eight Fire Engines FFS!!! You can tell how completely the people of this country have lost all common sense by the reaction to someone discovering a few dusty old sources in a school cupboard.
In the good old days they would have phoned up Harwell and a guy with some tongs and a lead box would have come out and taken them away.
Today we have 8 fire engines and 28 fire service personnel. (and presumably the guy from Harwell with the tongs and the lead box)
It wouldn't surprise me if COBRA has been called at Downing St by now...
