Scrumpy.

Cause of Bedminster explosion revealed - and it could take days to resolve

It may explain the months of firework hell we get around here - perhaps there's a cottage industry turning out things that go bang at cheaper prices than the dedicated pop-up firework shops ...

How daft do you have to be to think making fireworks in a normal house is a sensible thing to do?

Almost right...

(It does have an excellent outdoor shop though, Taunton Leisure, where I bought my first proper sleeping bag - a snugpak softie 9 if anyone is interested - some 25 years ago. It's a bit battered now, but I've still got it...)

I do love a BEP article that doesn't even answer the question why

Mad Mike's or Crazy Dave's or whatever it's called?

Usually find their site unreadable. Same with most local papers. Ads and surveys getting in the way. That Tristan journo is on a FB group I'm in. Gets quite a lot of grief for his trouble.

Yeah he's on BS3 Connect... I can't work out if he gets more stories from there or brings more to there

I can't stand the way that the Post thinks you need a video to play on every page you open, it's incredibly irritating.

Someone I know is on FB saying 'they are lying, it can't just be fireworks, something terrible is going on'

 

[xenon]

Yep. That's the one, BS3 Connect. It gets quite narky on their doesn't it. Ashton Gate parking etc...

 

[SpookyFrank]

As opposed to a fire which is not potentially hazardous?
