wow

Well, I was going to go to Sainsburys and pick up some chips, because I am hungry and I like chips. But no, I can't do that, because THE FUCKING BOMB DISPOSAL UNIT HAVE CORDONED OFF THE ROAD BETWEEN ME AND THE SUPERMARKET.

View across the railway line, with bored policeman on the left and tape across the end of the road:


Road down by the Grove pub, various policemen wandering around, tape blocking off the way to the hallowed landsupermarket and the town centre:

I would have got a closer look, but the policeman shouted at us to stand back. Apparently there's at least one more controlled explosion to go. (I heard one earlier but had no idea that is what it was.)

EDIT: Here we go: The local BBC picked up on it eventually. Not much to say though.
