Arndale Centre

[Neil]

Rumour has it that PB was doing some shopping and he dropped a 10p piece

I bet it would not hit the floor before he caught it again

 

[emamum]

I am glad I wasn't there for this routine fire alarm thing. Why do the shutters shut if the fire alarms go off?

that happens in nelson as well.... when the fire alarms go off the automatic doors lock.... nelson ahve theirs every tuesday morning and the security men have to hold all the doors open.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

If it's just a drill I don't understand why the doors shut.

I shall reveal my secret when I'm told I can do - it may be no big deal but it might be.

If it's just a drill I don't understand why the doors shut

That's just what happens.

As soon as I know I won't get in trouble for saying!

If you know that the council has managed to twin Accrington with Baghdad, it's your civic duty to spill the beans.

 

[moon]

Me and mum were in there earlier and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Dont know what went on!

If you'll just let me know the date when the council leaders do their swap, I'll go and trim up the station with bunting, and wave them off.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Darn! Rumbled!!

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

It was only evacuated for 10 minutes....the police were in there, but there didn't seem anything amiss.

The councillors of Baghdad and Kabul are going to be pretty peed off when they see what they got landed with

 

[lindsay ormerod]

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

They will if Graham Jones is in the party

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

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) 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?

 

[derekgas]

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.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

THATS Willows secret...........

Trust him to go and blab!

 

[cashman]

well if thats all it was i would tell you that around 1-00 this aft all those customs n exise folk were assembled at the lay-by opposite the old english electric down by the dunk, checking the Fuel of Vans n Wagons they stopping, but my lips are sealed.

 

[WillowTheWhisp]

Well that wasn't where they were this morning when I was told not to say where they were.
