Be honest, you've just Googled it and realised how utterly stupid your last post made you look. Its OK to admit it occasionally you know. 

If you want to think that feel free, or you could look further up the thread where i made a comment about it a few days ago, it's entirely up to you, it's on page 3 if you want to go and find it.

Horrifying. Genuinely like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie. Thankfully no casualties though. 

 

Yeah that is shocking. Wennington equally, if not worse. I've never see a fire ravage something that badly in this country in my lifetime, outside of Grenfell. 

Doesn't sound like any people were trapped or caught up in it, but I hope everyone got their animals out. But I can't imagine losing everything like that, cars and all.

These wildfires are usually caused by arson be it wilful or accidental.

There are wild fires on moorland most years; last year there was a big one on Winter Hill near Bolton, and others around Saddleworth. This is just a normal summer occurrence.

It’s like the difference between murder and manslaughter.

It really isn't.

It's why we have firebans out here during the summer. Dipshits otherwise will be causing all sorts of huge fires. They punish hard as well.

Clearly by the lack of response on here nobody cares.

You must do better when trolling. This is a poor effort. You are not very good at it. Give it up.

I'm just happy that everyone has understood the advice and will keep themselves and their loved ones safe.

That is the Fire Brigades assessment having found a disposable BBQ near the source of the blaze.

Everything is a CRISIS with a WARNING. AMBER WARNING issued due to CRISIS of lack of loo roll. RED WARNING issued due to CRISIS over toothpaste. Whatever. The media (and in fact this country) is f**king dull.

Meanwhile in the current AMBER WARNING for the HEATWAVE CRISIS, my lounge is still 29c at 11pm. But I'm not dead.

No not here, but I expect that doesn’t make the people who lost their houses or their crops a few weeks ago feel any better. Do you or do you still think it is something to poke fun at?  (No need to answer that, we all know the answer).

Actually I was wrong, still fires here

You must be too young to remember 1976 and our glorious Minister for Drought The Right Honourable Lord Denis Howell, one FA referee from 1956 to 1966.

Yes, I know you weren’t serious;)

Of course they aren’t. It’s a direct result of Brexit.

Did you ever burn the toast on the sub? I should imagine a fire onboard a submarine is a pretty serious thing and not to be made fun of? Or did you take the rise out of your colleagues during fire drills?

I have literally no idea what you are on about.

How are you coping in this 'far right' weather, anyway?
