I hope they have a VERY long ladder!

Shouldn't need one, it's always hissing it down in Blackpool.

The most astonishing thing I took from the BBC is a warning from the fire brigade for people not to fly drones. I find it astonishing that people need to be told this.

Every village has them, Deskdiary - Blackpool has more than it's fair share.

Apparantly it was just orange netting blowing in the wind ie, no fire at all.

The only dry place was in Blackpool & that was on top of the tower!

So Sam started swimming to Blackpool - it took him best part of a week - his clothes was wet through when he got there & his boots were beginning to leak.
