    I was passing through Kilcock this evening, and I saw this plume of black smoke rising from out behind the Chewing Gum factory. I investigated further and a building at the back of it was blazing away, anly about 30 feet from an apartment block! There were people watching, cars pulling up, mini explosions going off in the building, it was incredible! I left before the fire brigade arrived. Anyone have any more info about this? I hope nobody was hurt:(

    Did you not ring the fire brigade yourself before you pulled up? How did you know that you weren't first on the scene?:confused:

    Maybe he started the fire & by posting here, he's trying get himself an alibi to wrigley his way out of it?

    I guess you could say, a chewing gum factory is on fire in Kilcock.

    Hope no one was hurt!

    You should always ring the fire brigade, even if you're not first on scene (well no need if you happen to be talking to a person that has rang them).

    Why did the chewing gum cross the road?

    It was stuck on the chicken's foot.

    Chances are its an insurance job, seeing a lot of businesses burn down since the bubble burst...

    Insurance jobs are a trident tested method of getting a few quid.

    Probably started by that same fellow who shot out Dana's tyres from the grassy knoll there in Kilcock. I heard he'd been seen arson around the place:D:D:D.

    They're also a significant factor in the exOrbitant insurance premiums that businesses have to pay nowadays.

    If you have to make the pun in bold, it's not a good pun.

    I heard it was deliberate. They were under threat of getting closed down due to performing some weird ex-spearmints
