Leigh in Azerbaijan

Russia ready to submit proposals on construction of nuclear power plant in Azerbaijan

Now that’s a worry.

While I’m here.  We had a bomb threat this morning.  I arrived at school at 7.25am and at 7.40am we were told to leave the building.   We ambled out wondering what the story was, knowing we had never been asked to do this before, apart from fire or earthquake drills.   Staff were arriving in buses and cars and then were waiting around outside the main gate while guards were scurrying to ensure people were out of the various buildings.

Larry, the Director, said that the threat came in an email addressed to the four admin people with a brief explanatory note (content was not described) and then the threat was at the bottom, saying that a bomb would go off at 9.15am in the school. We haven’t heard anything so assume that school happens as normal tomorrow.

At 8.20am we were in buses going home and at 8.25am we saw the first emergency services vehicle, a small police vehicle, rushing in TISA’s direction.   Sadly we saw no other police, ambulance, fire brigade, BP security (we’re under BP’s control) or bomb squad.  If there was a crisis here you wouldn’t want to be relying on emergency services.  Thankfully the school has its own security staff.
