Then a couple of days later the bulldozers moved in and the site is now a pile of rubble, with whatever clues as to what caused or started the fire doubtless buried deep under the rubble. How coincidental.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I hope the new owners are forced to rebuild the pub brick by brick.

And, allegedly, the digger that did the deed was hired a day or 2 before the fire.

Not even allegedly; it's a matter of fact. And ordered a week before...Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 5:11 pm And, allegedly, the digger that did the deed was hired a day or 2 before the fire.
It's actually pretty funny; I'm fairly sure the alleged perps thought they'd quietly get away with this and it would all be plain sailing. Very definitely not; they've got all the yam-yams up in arms...

Apparently they ordered diggers quite regularly so maybe just had one when they needed it by coincidence?mangocrazy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2023 5:45 pmNot even allegedly; it's a matter of fact.

The hire customer involved had an account, paid up weekly and always paid the bills, Thomas said.

And, with the aid of a top QC, it will all be seen to be a coincidence. And everyone will live happily ever after, well, the owner will.

Re: In todays news...
oops...
"someone" in the Georgia DA's office posted a list of the crimes Trump was charged with on line... before the Grand Jury had even voted on them,
DA said the list was completely bogus & it was taken down
Later Trump was charged with 100% of crimes that were on the bogus list
DA is now claiming she doesn't know enough about computers to explain how the bogus list appeared on line, or how it 100% matched the actual list.
A total of 18 people have been charged, one of whom is Sweaty Ken's publicist.
In other news, Biden's puppet masters forgot to ensure he was sober before putting him in front of the cameras this morning.

Re: In todays news...
Yeah Cairndhuna Terrace is a 1930s-type scheme of council houses. It’s named after “Cairndhuna:” a rock stack on the bay outside the town’s harbour.
That’s a Gaelic name, so it was probably assigned to the rock by the large contingent of Gaelic-speaking migrant workers and refugees from Highland clearances who followed the fishing during the 19th Century herring boom.
