Fraser,
My condolences! This is a dreadful thing to have happen to you and your
organisation.
My heart goes out to everyone who lost files and boxes in the fire. I
cannot imagine how I'd cope in this situation.

Since Tower Hamlets have apparently lost 6,000 odd boxes in this little
conflagration, of which roughly 10% of which may be legal files and 10%
may
be Social Services files (we won't know for sure until next week when
they
can audit what's been lost), I think it's probably fair to say that
Tower
Hamlets are a little more concerned than they appear to be, yes. We're
trying to assess the impact on business continuity as we speak.
Additionally, I keep wondering when 'Oh, by the way, we've had a
flippin'
enormous fire and lost 1.8m boxes of records, just thought we'd mention
it'
might appear on http://www.ironmountain.co.uk/uk/news_events/index.asp.
I'd
have thought that was quite newsworthy myself.
Cheers,
Fraser
