Has someone done a really smelly merde and sprayed air freshener into the smoke detector by mistake I wonder??

I have never done that myself, honest

Sky has it as "Breaking news" with no story as yet.

I went through the tunnel last month, the thing that was always on my mind was a fire. On the return journey we slowed to walking pace and noticed the fire exits seemed quite a distance apart- not miles but further than you'd want to go with a fire on your arse.

miles if you have a nine inch stride Gaz

fire in a inclosed space is a nightmare
