You are surely not accusing a reputable organisation like  REACH newspapers of re-cycling or making up stories.... https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/loud-buzzing-sound-kept-people-17391880   :jurek:

I've just realised that Beast Quest books (if you know, you'll know, and if you don't, you don't want to) must have been written by Reach journos. Or do I mean Reach media is written by the "authors" of Beast Quest books?

See also "pongs & smells" https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/horrendous-smell-reported-over-parts-16840843      though there are a couple of parts of Merseyside I'd never think of buying a home in for that reason ,  NCN62 runs past the still working Granox rendering plant & the smell would make you heave.  http://www.trucknetuk.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=41701&start=210#p720887

 :thumbsup: to the residents of Pallatine Road for trying to make a "playing out street". Maybe next time they'll do it properly...

You'd think proper Scousers would know a thing or two about immobilising vehicles.

Two cars are also known to have driven into the water by mistake.
Those silly cars should have listened to their drivers.

Great headline though!

A mum was left with chemical burns after she accidentally ate a handful of mini fireworks she thought were popping candy.

Lisa Boothroyd, 48, claims she found the multicoloured box of Fun Snaps among the lollipops in Costcutter when she was buying snacks for her and her neighbours.

Not quite sure how to describe this, I think perhaps:

Rabid frothing at the mouth nimbyism leads to posting of sensible responses on local rag web site shocker.


There was a similar torrent of bullshit over a plan to convert an old railway line in the Vale of Clwyd. It was alleged that burglars would be the main users of the path...

"I just keep thinking what could have happened if I’d given them to a child - they could’ve blown her mouth apart."
