Bazj Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Smiths was plagued with Tramps a while back - all sleeping rough. There was a group in the 70's called the Trammps. The Trammps had a massive hit with Disco Inferno (John Travolta danced to it in Saturday Night Fever) Mr Smiths was a disco Mr Smiths Caught fire and went up in an inferno.... a Disco Inferno....

Dizzy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep all going according to the police officer I was talking too tonight too. Is that your video wirerrob1, if so I was there too when they were doing that bit and I can still smell the dust on my clothes Very sad sight and hard to believe they can knock a building down so quickly and I certainly hadn't expected it all to go so soon as I thought they'd have fire investigation teams in for a while etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I know it was a night club called Mr Smiths but what was it called afterwards and before.... Why isn't it being reported as the ABC cinema being burnt to the ground, or whatever its name was after it was Mr Smiths. Still now that it is gone ot would be a great place to build the new imax cinema and plenty of parking space available at the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeborn John Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I crossed Warrington several times yesterday (I missed the early rush hour admittedly) and was surprised by one thing, the traffic kept moving. It was a bit heavier and there were a few HGVs where you don't usually see them,but nothing like the problems I expected, most odd in a town that normally goes into gridlock if somebody has a crash 20 miles away, if it rains a lot, goes dark or if the day begins with an F.

Latchford Locks Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was a regular in the sixties and was amazed how many kids went up on stage as they had Birthdays every other week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horace Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Really, should we be laughing at someone who has never heard of the Trammps? Sounds to me as if someone has had a misspent youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
