    Yes it is all the Hoodies fault. Let's ban the Hoodie and everything will be sorted out.

    I am off to hand the four I own in at the local police station.:rotfl:

    What a load of rubbish.

    When you are at the police station ask if they have found your sense of humour.

    All theose people standing by laughing need arresting for aiding and abetting to the arson too. That'll wipe the smiles of their faces. I am sure their parents must be so proud.

    Just thought I'd add. This guy was arrested on Wednesday and has been charged with criminal damage and reckless endangerment.

    He's due to to be sentenced today...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    I hope he gets a prison sentence. We don't need people like this in our society. Better still, castrate him so he can't breed!

    Can't believe all those people standing and watching who didn't try and stop him or put the fire out!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Well, apparently he didn't enter a plea, his solicitor is saying it's a case of mistaken identity.

    He's due to appear in Crown Court on the 18th August...

  • What I find so surprising about this is the number of unarrested people with stupid grins on their faces who saw the dress burning and did not return to the scene within seconds with a fire extinguisher.

    As it was, I believe this was allowed by all, including a national media news team I believe, to develop into a serious fire.

    Where would you expect people to magic a fire extinguisher from? All the shops were shut. Don't know about your high street but on mine there aren't fire extinguishers just lying about.
