'Sir Peter highlighted the “constant scourge” of chewing gum on Leicester’s pavements and said he would “curse the manufacturer” of chewing gum'.

 

Err Sir Pete, don't you think the responsibility lies with those who drop it on the floor?

You might as well curse the manufacturers of food, drinks, sweets and so on for all the other blights on our streets.

...and the rather non-discript building that replaced it..

A weird quote in TV this evening was a woman who said she'd seen the fire engines and just hoped it wasn't the church.

 

I guess she preferred it was an inhabited building.

Unless it was Sunday and the 3 people attending church were put at mild risk. She must've been really worried.

 

Still, it would've been a sad loss if the church had burnt down.
