This pic from today's Ealing & Acton Gazette shows a poor mattress victim of a night-time fire above the Askew Carpet Warehouse (see psychobabble's #6612 or Vogon3's #5702). You can see the "G" of "free gripper" in this pic. Two brothers heroically saved all the building's occupants. The caption makes it sound as if the whole of Askew Road burnt down!

we tried to put the fire out, but it was too much. Too much emotion perhaps

I usually buy the Gazette, pb, but this is the first streetmattress I've seen in it.

It's a weekly paper, and this had happened a few days earlier. I'm sure the mattress was long gone.
