    oldham explosion.

    Some of you may have seen this on the news. This happened on my beat where I am a local officer.

    The level of destruction I have seen over the last few days is staggering.

    This is not to mention the tragic death of a two year old boy.

    We are currently working round the clock to help the devastated members of the community and one sxoc member, glen200sx has taken in a homeless animal. Thanks mate.

    A local Facebook group has been set up and a fund started for donations to help with funeral costs and rebuilding what has been lost.

    If any member would like to help, details are at http://www.iloveroyton.com/news/shaw-explosion

    Thanks for looking.

    Si

    Totally missed this! very bad news!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    It's on buckles street behind the weavers. It's a real mess. I feel for the community.
