Anybody know what happened this afternoon?
Police all around the motorway junction near Network 65 then they was all over in cars and on foot around Hapton/Padiham/Rosegrove.
Must have been something serious for so many to be put and about at the same time, I didn't even realise we had so many left and went on for hours.

Probably some Gen X thought that they heard someone call someone in Outer Mongolia a turd.

There was a car that burst into flames near the slip road

Definitely a cover up.

Just a guess but it could be to do with finding Murgatroyd and King who battered a police woman yesterday and are wanted on Lancs police page on Facebook.
It was in Gt Harwood but they have links over in Padiham/ Burnley.

This is very specific. Has this happened?!

A rumour going round the Flying Dutchman in Padiham was raided early evening as well

Surrounded by police when I drove past at 6pm today

Yes I saw them outside there in Padiham, seen Police all over the police though wondered if it was all linked but sounds like just several incidents at the same time and quite a few raids.

Thank you're mixing up your gens. Gen X is roughly 1965 to 1980, so 45 to 60 year olds.

Gen X upset at the idea that someone else might be upset? Sounds about right to me

Gen X, eh?

I'm not in love with television
I'm not in love with the radio
I'm not in love with The Kings Road, oh-ho-ho
Because I'm in love with Cathy McGow-ow-ow-ow-owan

She's in:
Ready steady go
Well, all things she said!

Escaped prisoner now recaptured in Blackburn

Imagine escaping to Blackburn.

Very sensible surely?
No one would ever think of looking for him there.

Perhaps he got lost

Talk **** about me

About my g-g-generation

Few pub raids indeed in Padiham yesterday - drugs related I think. Not sure if that’s related to this.
