A suspect package being investigated. Hopefully a false alarm and all will be well.

Certainly hope it's a false alarm Eve.

SNAP!!!!

[Eve]

Ah, sorry, hadn't spotted that! Don't tend to venture in to the sport section, thanks for providing the link.

[Eve]

I do hope so Mamya. Hopefully being extra careful!

[Mamyalynne]

That's ok , yes 'snap!' Baldric.


Brings back bad memories the resurgence of threats like this.

[Eve]

Sounds like there might be more than one suspicious package and they have carried out a controlled explosion, hopefully it will be cleared up soon.

Such a huge place to evacuate too and so many people!

Seems like it was a "training device" after all.

[Hopkirk]

Someone has a very red face, and possibly no job.

[Old_Geezer]

Well it resulted in a very realistic training scenario. Job done then.

better safe than sorry...I applaud their actions

''wonder where i left that training device? i've looked everywhere'' ...

[EDDIE51]

A 'fake bomb' used to train sniffer dogs! So I presume it even smells like a bomb? Was the 'security company' G4?

[anotheoldgit]

Couldn't have carried out a better training exercise if they had arranged one.

AOG - I'm not sure those Bournemouth fans who travelled hundreds of miles and forked out to travel, etc would agree with you!
