Must be a worrying time for all those living in tower blocks.

Quang, I think you should let the residents speak for themselves. Making them out to have the same incorrect opinion as you is insulting to them.

Towering Inferno, ballcocks, it was a 4 storey block, get real!

/// IF that fire started in the hotpoint fridge freezer (which has been confirmed by authorities) then if I was the Head of Hotpoint, I'd be blooming worried ///

Not necessarily the fault of Hotpoint, could be the misuse of the fridge-freezer or lack of maintenance by the owner.

AOG.....Hotpoint had already issued serious warnings about the fridge.

What that particular one?

"Towering Inferno, ballcocks, it was a 4 storey block, get real!"

Is there a rule of thumb of how high a building mist be to be termed "Towering?"

Likewise you may call it a fire, i may call it an inferno. Is there a gauge in this circumstance?

If you have to look up to something then it is indeed towering above you. I stand by my description.
