    It seems every **** smoked at the Companies he ran and not only did they smoke, they were very careless with their *** ends.

    I think this sums it up nicely:

    "Fletcher also went through the full transcripts of the Popplewell Inquiry, which began its five days of hearings into the disaster just three-and-a-half weeks after the blaze"

    I'm wondering if he owned any bus companies recently.

    Hmmm,Kings Cross was within a few years of Bradford and was that not blamed on smoking as well?I suppose there's no smoke without fire

    By some miracle he appears to have remained unscathed.

    The main question is: Does anyone actually give a ****? (apart from the northern *****s that got barbecued)

    The band, New model army did a benefit gig soon after. All hell broke loose when someone chucked a box of matches into the collection bucket.

    Two stories which are related to this and King's Cross:

    Early 90's went to match Brentford v Newcastle,fans singing 'hit him.hit him.hit him with a baseball bat"ref Keegan but me smoking in wooden stadium and never realised.

    Good Toon lads going to Charity Shield v Manure match in King's Cross and smoking away,all got lifted <laugh>

    Don't think Ireland or Scottish Taigs fared too well,was Cromwell not involved?I was more of a Bernard Summers and New Order type of man.

    Cromwell is actually a bit of a myth, he commanded very few actual battles, he was not a great tactical or strategic general, more of a politician. Thomas Fairfax did most of the actual scrapping for the Parliamentarians.

    It was actually a proper Civil War, a British one. The best General the Royalists had was a Scot. The Earl of Montrose.

    This is true but something that is not taught in English history is Cromwell in Ireland and can't say if Scottish history differs from english teaching?You know what I mean ie are they different or the same throughout the system?
