Sounds like a standard fire drill, the shutters are put down to stop more folk wandering in.

When a routine fire alarm goes off and the centre has to be evacuated the shutters have to be put down or the shop will be empty by the time we come back in, there is always a sneaky rat outhere:D

THATS Willows secret...........At the same time that the Arndale was shutting its doors, I was telling Willow over the phone that there was a conglomeration (good word that:rofl38:) of uniformed police, (about 20 odd) C.I.D. Personnel, Ministry of Transport, Customs & Excise.......and an important looking middle-aged woman with ID around her neck all meeting within a mile of the town centre. Coincidence?

There was also a policeman at the bottom of Burnley rd directing traffic, though it did seem that the lights were stuck, that was at 5.30ish.

Anyone heard what was going on?
the truth is as follows..

for once a shop actualy opened up instead of closing down , this threw the alarm system into a frenzy which short circuited the main board causing the fail safe to over ride the system resulting in a total lock down

Thanks cashman, As I said, coincidence?:D Not surprised though! In Brougton, there is a garage with a large sign on the roadside offering red diesel at 69p per litre - available in 20 litre drums (In smaller print, it says not to be used on public roads) Surely that must be a temptation to the many drivers out there? Would any accyweb members be tempted to put red diesel in their cars?
