Pikeys try to set fire to TG's desk.

[TG]

The fire started in a building next to an empty 5 storey Victorian factory unit that is about 50ft from my desk. Some pikey's (allegedly) have been using cutting equipment to remove anything metallic from the building for the last couple of weeks.

The fact is if the fire brigade hadnt got the fire out quickly it would have spread to the 5 storey building and i would prolly be typing this from home.

Fire started about a half hour after they left.

Note the article mentions another major fire across the road. Also a disused Victorian unit.

Funny thing is these buildings and others around here are :

A/ Listed
B/ Empty
C/ In a major redevelopment / regeneration area

Funny how these old buildings spontaneously combust ain't it?

The pikeys (allagedly) were last seen this morning lurking a couple of hundred yards from the building looking somewhat nervous.

It is not unheard of. Happens a lot in Scallypool

You are surely not thinking that perhaps the owners/developers and certain council members are walking round with a can of petrol and a box of matches are you?
Tsk .... you must be reading too much Private Eye.

Brown envelopes have not changed hands in the Planning Department either

The pikeys turned up with a masive skip.  Perfect timing as the building inspectoor was on site. 

Now the police have turned up.

Pikeys (and skip) have done a very fast disapearing act.

Fireman back again.

Did either father have a bike to your knowledge?

[Nick]

I was thinking of the current shenanigans (good word ~ has a pikey favour about it)
