Bomb threat at Blackburn ASDA.

Post by Bfcboyo » Thu Feb 07, 2019 6:50 am

Just browsing national and local news and read this article.
https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/n ... evacuated/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What caught my eye was the lovely tweet by a local resident at the bottom of the page. I have never liked the Telegraph because it has poor reporting and editing. It seems another department is living up to being useless in censoring the live tweets feed.

Par for the course. I expect nothing else from that rag or the mindless moron section of Blackburn Rovers 'supporters'. They deserve each other.

Apparently a large second world war bomb had to be detonated in Blackburn a couple of years ago. There were no injuries whatsoever, as the whole area had been evacuated.

Police later confirmed that the explosion had caused 10 million pounds worth of improvements. !

I think what happens is that the tweet is embedded from Twitter, and as such is ‘live’, so that any changes to the original text will feed through to the LT. Obviously the original tweeter got wind of being in the paper and hilariously changed his user name (you can’t edit tweets themselves).

Probably prompted through outrage when they ran out of horse feed.

Come on, someone had to say it..... :mrgreen:

I wondered when someone would crack the “million pounds’s worth of improvements” funny.

To be fair, I’d rather shag my sister than his missus.

The horror bag.

Will be a sad loss. Warsteiner - 4 for £6 - not to be sneered at. Big bottles as well
