When I heard of the news at midday today about the explosion at the oil depot in Hemel Hempstead I decided a great way of getting a local viewpoint would be to use Blogmaps to find and read blogs in the surrounding area (link here).

But not one blog in the area even mentions it. Worse, there appear to be hardly any blogs on there at all. A link to the blogmap for my area shows about eight blogs, whereas the Brighton Bloggers list of blogs shows far more than that number.

Update 1

There are some blogs with info:
1) The England Project
2) Possible cause: Desert Sun
3) Tim Worstall’s blog

Update 2

A fascinatingly honest comment on EUrophobia.
