Our flat stinks of smoke this morning, and a Glasgow landmark has gone overnight. Awful to see a piece of history destroyed but so glad no-one was hurt, and amazed by the firefighters who stopped the fire spreading further

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited). Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life. Citizens; heroes.
