I was working in there last Friday.

They shut early as a couple of smokers were almost wiped out by ice falling from the roof!

My ex was sent to work at the famous Royal Liver building in Liverpool for a few days.

There was an area outside where the smokers used to gather, she said that up to 30 could be there at one time.

I think one of the bosses got pissed off by the smell or something, anyway the area was closed off.

A couple of days later a massive block of stone fell off the roof and landed in this area!

Dodgy thing, smoking......

In Moscow an average of 40 people are killed and many more are injured each year by ice falling from roofs.

Having looked up, at the buildings in the town, I'm walking on the roads if I can. Not just the icicles but the guttering is trashed on many buildings now, pavements coned off below, when it's been noticed. Hope nobody gets injured when that stuff starts to fall.

I've parked my car well out the way after watching a block of ice and plenty of snow fall 4 or so floors and make an almighty dent in a bus stop across from my flat.
