Oh, not that again! Acetylene gas cylinders should be banned or else

Something should be done about many things that are stored on properties

Up until a while ago there was a yard at Neasden (the old McNicholas yard),
just on the Dollis Hill side of Neasden South Junction, that was full of
skips of different sizes. There were several piles of them, stacked up to
ten or twelve skips high, backing onto the Chiltern line. At the top they
were leaning towards the railway. I often wondered what would have happened
if they had toppled over in a gale, or something, onto the track.
