(Not a good idea to store it over a       furniture warehouse, but hindsight is easy.)              I've seen the letter written at the time, recording that the destruction       was pretty complete, but I wonder - what _happened_ to the debris? There       must have been a lot of it, in sheer volume - the 1921 was 8 million       housholds, so I assume the 1931 more. Did it go to landfill? Fertiliser?       What?       --       J. P.
