Disclaimer: I live in Hackney (East London), and this is happening up the road from me right now. Whilst I understand your reasoning, the line in this case is quite blurred: there are people in Tottenham who have been lucky to escape with their lives from burning buildings, because arsonists have torched shop premises on the ground floor. There is a specific and harrowing case of a (now cruelly destroyed by fire) 1930s building housing a branch of "Carpet-Rite". In interview, a tearful woman describes narrowly escaping with her life whilst seeing upon egress laughing looters removing rugs and carpets from the premise. London has a historical propensity to combust (read Peter Ackroyd on this subject); if the current activity continues, it is highly likely that someone will be killed in a fire, which will make your thinking non-academic.

Indeed, reportedly a third of young people have Blackberry here. It makes sense: BBM is the killer app for them, they don't even necessarily use the email functionality. It offers the functionality of SMS, but free (from their POV) and allows multi-recipient.

At the bottom, it suggests that "terabytes a second" is denoted by "tbps".
Surely "TB/s" would be terabytes, but they in fact meant terabits?

Then again, it's from The Guardian, this is par for the cause.
