Bloody hell. Just because it's in Manchester it's making the
headlines.
Maybe they can't afford one ?

If it was in London we wouldn't hear anything about it! :-)
I think with their history of fires they're a little embarrassed about
mentioning anything like that.

Maybe in Manchester they're saying "Coo, it was like the Blitz -
probably!"

You don't think Manchester was bombed in WW2?

Of course but they had to have their own special Luftwaffe crews as the others were busy elsewhere. I think it was by invite.
