I tried to drive from Croyland motors through the town, but got to the Mansfield Drive roundabout and had to turn right, then got to the end thinking I could turn left back towards the town centre and got directed right, onto Irchester road, so I went left onto Boundary, then down Highfield and Purvis, tried to turn left, couldn't, so went right, then left down Fitzwilliam st. onto Duck street, followed that round to the High street, then tried to turn down Washbrook road, but no, still not allowed, so had to follow the road, took the left down Hayway, towards Northampton road, couldn't turn right at the end of Hayway, so had to go right, which took me through Higham 
Basically, there was a police road block on the corner of pretty much every corner near Washbrook road, and some random ones near the outer edges of the town.
So, WTF was going on? Police wouldn't tell me

Turns out it was some random crappy fire in someone's garage, nothing intresting 
I was expecting a bomb/gun wielding maniac/armed robbery/nuclear holocaust/warewolf invasion from the amount of police around

some sort of gases that you use for welding caused the fire.

yeah caused a right mess of things, my mrs was evacuated as she lives directly opposite the house where they had the fire.
also completly offtopic but that blue z20let corsa c owned by honan on here iirc was outside asda in rushden last night, front end looked a bit of a state tho, looked like he went into the back of someone .. no other cars were about?

Yea I heard Honan got hit up the arse which in turn pushed him into the car infront. Shame really he hasn't had the best of luck since buying it from Mark.
