Not earth shattering but for anyone attempting to view the photographs I have posted here (including the boring ones
), I'm enjoying a problem with my server and they are not currently accessible.
But it's hardly a problem in comparison as I have just got home from work to discover no water ....... because the local supermarket has just been burnt to the ground and the 50 fire appliances have used up all the water in the system to put the fire out.
There could be a photograph in this.....

Just loot some bottled water from that burned-out supermarket!
I wonder if the piles of mineral water help put the fire out or just created exploding bombs of superheated steam to add to the inferno produced by the shelves stacked with raspberry flavoured 40° vodka. I wouldn't fancy being a fireman confronted with a burning supermarket - every single tin or can or bottle could take you out from a distance if it went off the wrong way.
Dare I ask if this was a Tesco?

I'm sad to hear that. Co-Op generally good, Tesco not so (though we buy from them - they just are not as good for the community). You'll probably get a Tesco now in record time, to grab the business before the Co-Op can rebuild. Here in Kelso we fought off an attempt by Tesco to build just 18 miles from a giant 24-hour Tesco which is next door to a giant 24-hour Asda. We are getting Sainsbury instead, the nearest used to be 40 miles either north or south. Our Co-Ops aere rather modest and don't have the range of their competitors.

Thanks for the thought David, however we already have a Tesco in the town too. And a Wilkinsons, whatever that is?
But I have always been impressed with Co-op's sincerity, which is why we have given them support. I note the comment from the newsreel footage that they suspect baddies tried to torch the cash machine! When I can (police cordons permitting) I'll try and capture a photographic record of the rebuild.
Good link eh?
