Default controlled explosion carried out at mancheser picadilly stn.

heard earlier that a controlled explosion was carried out at manchester picadilly train station after a suspect package was left un-attended on a train from chester.

as far as i am aware, picadilly, and the surrounding area is still closed, even after 5 hours

You do realise its all these Chavs dont you.

They're fucking idiots who deliberately leave empty boxes/cases/ bin liners in public places and sit back and have a jolly good laugh whilst some poor Army disposal team has to piss around for 3 hours!

Only a matter of time before their fucking about means a team cant get to the real device. Really REALLY hope the Police track them down from fingerprints and charge them with wasting police time

See the other post, there was a controlled explosion on Thursday at Poole Train Station down here!

Rich, thats necessarily true mate, its abit suspect for all these supposed devices to be turning up over such a widespread area!

But yeah you could be right, blame the fookin chavs anyway, there probably not helping, the coonts will be out looting before you know it!

I've answered this on the other post (damn me for cut n pasting )

If tyhe chavs are quite happy to piss in public, fight the Police and wear Argos jewelry in such a stupid amount. I sadly dont think its beyond them to think Hoaxes are funny

Suspect packages are what used to be called lost property, even in the IRA days you could go down to the depot and see if someone had handed it in..

Now everythings a bloody bomb

Some poor bloke will be ringing round after his briefcase with all his paperwork in only to find the army have blown it up
