Hot stuff in Moreton
It felt like "World Irony Day" was upon us this morning. A 91Èȱ¬ investigation has found that Moreton Fire College, which trains firefighters from all over the UK, hadn't complied with fire safety laws when part of its own premises burnt down last year! It cost £1m when the appliance bay went up in flames devouring 11 fire engines.
It will be filed along with other classic stories such as the AA patrol van that broke down and had to be rescued by the RAC, the police chief at the forefront of combatting speeding who admitted to twice being caught out by roadside cameras - and finally the inventor of the Atkins diet who was found to be obese when he died.
