"Our office has just been evacuated by the police! Bomb alert or summat

In this rain, they have no consideration at all

Starbucks cordoned off outside my window, it is better then the tv."

Oh, she works in Manchester does she? We used to get jokers phoning in with bomb scares at the height of the IRA bombings.

Hope it is just a joker.

KentBrockman · 03/07/2007 10:54

Yes, have just phoned dh, he says there are police everywhere and they were doing stop and search on the Parkway .

MerlinsBeard · 03/07/2007 10:55

lots of bomb scraes in manchester centre, apparently there are government buildings somewhere near the arndale but dunno how true that is. i worked on deansgate for a good few years and got evacuated at least 1/2 times a month

oliveoil · 03/07/2007 11:20

I work in Primark, I am the snidey one on the till putting your purchases through without a word...

I got to work and there were police everywhere and tape cordoning off the road

I asked one of those Street Wardens (ie failed copper) what to do and he said "I don't know"

so I went into work and the receptionist said "I don't know"

so I went back down and a Successful Copper ran across the street and screeched at me to GET AWAY, GO THAT WAY >

but all the staff are in there, said I

get them out RIGHT NOW, said he

cue lots of running up and down 3 flights informing staff

all stood in the rain whilst everyone phoned home/work/loved ones/the moon

then back in

emailed cod

excitement over for the day (hopefully)

Rhubarb · 03/07/2007 11:23

Can you not go home with shock? It has obviously been a traumatic event and you need to rest and recover!

ledodgy · 03/07/2007 11:23

So in a state of emergency when everyone else is phoning loved ones, you phone Cod?

ledodgy · 03/07/2007 11:23

*email Cod I mean

oliveoil · 03/07/2007 11:26

I phoned dh first

he said "are you sure, there is nothing on the radio"

fgs

I was working when the IRA blew up Mcr, I wasn't allowing in my flat so had to go to the pub [hard life]
