An interesting article in the Wells Journal. A suspect package was delivered to the job centre, leaking a foul smelling substance. The police were called and in this time of heightened national insecurity they turned out in force with the fire brigade and declared it a CBRN(Chemical, Biological, Radioactive or Nuclear) type of incident.
As the city centre was closed the traffic built up and a local greengrocer, tired of being asked by slowly passing motorists what the problem was, put a message on his chalkboard outside the shop:- "Bomb in Wells JobCentre".
Later in the afternoon the police paid the greengrocer a visit, and seized the blackboard under the Prevention of Terrorism Act saying that it was "evidence".
I'm not sure what it could be evidence of.
The newspaper also reports 70 portions of Fish and chips were bought from Tuckers fish and chip shop for the Fire Brigade and 18 portions for the Police.
No jobcentre staff were harmed.
