Evil Sid Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Could have been an evacuation drill. Â Or it could be a way of boosting police arrest records. Evacuate every body then see how many they can arrest for shoplifting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Just had a phone call to ask me why town has been evacuated again today (Wed)....... Â Has it and anyone know why ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 No idea is it just lack of people shopping on a Wednesday. I went into town yesterday and it looked like it had been evacuated. Mind you it was about half nine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Apparently it was a bomb scare... says someone who was shopping at the time  So Friday it got evacuated for whatever reason but nothing was reported  Sunday the bomb squad went to Marsh House lane to make safe letter bombs destined for specific fraud witnesses  And today town evacuated again.  Nothing been reported on here though  I think I'll stay away from the shops for a while just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I did not read any insult or reference to blowing things up in Peters post. Â I took it to read that maybe some nice kind person would take it over and flatten it in favour of something more accessible. with maybe no need for escalators, that don't work, and floors that don't become like ski slopes when wet.

wolfie Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I did not read any insult or reference to blowing things up in Peters post.  Neither did I.

Dizzy Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Good morning everyone.  While you have all gone of at a tangent I'd just like to say that I know Peter's comment was tongue in cheek but I personally didn't find it funny hence my quick comment which by the way had a and a after it rather than a to show that I wasn't annoyed.... it just wasn't funny to me.  Reason.... I was in Warrington shopping for a mothers day present and was just about to go into boots but as my mum was so hard to buy for I suddenly decided 'sod it' I'll go to a garden centre and I left............. 20 minutes before the bomb went off.  If I hadn't have left then I would have been there when it exploded and add to that the fact that for most of the day like a lot of people I couldn't get hold of some family members and friends who had been shopping too.... the talk of bombs and evacuations gives me the shivvers after that awful day  Sorry if my comment has caused and ill feeling and I'm 100% sure that Peter did not and would not insult anyone in such a way.

Gary Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Poor taste Peter and an insult to all those injured and killed in the last Warrington bombings.   Bill  AS a Patron at the Peace Centre and an individual who was caught up in the bombing covering it for the local and national media I did not see any connection between Peter's tongue in cheek post and the Warrington bombing - until your post Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011  Sunday the bomb squad went to Marsh House lane to make safe letter bombs destined for specific fraud witnesses   Nothing been reported on here though  http://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/articles/10004/1/Man-in-court-on-explosives-charge/Page1.html  Evacuations due to "bomb scares" happen quite frequently but don't get reported as they mostly involve a suspicious package being someone's shopping.

Bill Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 We all know Peter?s comments were tongue in cheek however they were none the less poorly thought out, and wholly insensitive to people like myself who had close family members seriously injured in the last bomb attack. Â At the time, I did politely request that both Peter?s and my own post be removed so as not to cause any offence to others or to the forum and it's members. Â It?s sad that this wasn?t done and that people are now making light of this issue. Â Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 AMAZING!!!!!!!! Â Firstly, this is the first time I have been on the Forum today. Â Bill, Get real. When I wrote it, I briefly thought that it could be misconstrued, but then I thought "we are all sensible adults on here and would see the comical side of my comment", BUT there's always one. Â I was referring to the news item (see Gary's link) and I thought how wonderful if this guy could have sneaked into Golden Square in the early hours of the morning and flattened it. Â Perhaps we should put a feeler post out before posting to see if a subject would offend anyone. Â OR are you feeling mischievous Bill? Either way, I don't think that I have anything to apologise for nor feel it necessary to remove the post. Â Peter. (Poster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
