Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

[Geoid]

The police have closed down part of my road, people are being evacuated, don't have a clue about what is going on.

[Egluntyne]

Blimey. Anything on the local radio?

[chickinboy]

Hmmm, interesting! Hope it's nothing too bad...there aren't any people in white overalls coming out of tents are there?! ....let us know!

 

p.s. I love the fact that with all that going on, your first thought was 'I must post this on the omlet forum!'

[Geoid]

More of the street is being evacuated, police are knocking on doors and telling people to get into their cars and leave. Something about an unattended vehicle.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Make sure you take your laptop with you so you can let us know when you've evacuated .

 

(Hope it's nothing too bad )

[Geoid]

People are going back to their houses, police are going, cordons removed. Suspected bomb I think.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

How do you know a vehicle is "unattended" anyway . My street's full of "unattended" cars, we don't get evacuated every night .

 

Glad it's all over with no drama .

[Lewis]

What have you done now

 

Get on your bike + ride like the wind!!

[Geoid]

I was reading a guide to international diaster management, they evaucated us wrongly (and possibly unlawfully too)

[Chook n Boo Mum]

I'd have thought if there was a risk of explosion, then unlawful and illegal evacuation is better than showered in shrapnel with potentially fatal injuries Fred........hindsight is a wonderful and exact science, emergency evacuation as long as it's calm & controlled is not exact at all.......

 

Glad it all settled without any problems

I agree, it won't have been done on a whim.

 

Can't find anything about it on 'tinterweb.

[welovemarmite]

perhaps it was all a dream and you will wake up with bobby ewing in the shower...

[Alis girls]

Only a while ago you said you were glad you didnt live in my street (police helicopters etc ) but sounds just as bad there Fred. Glad you were ok. Did you take your hens with you? I wouldve loaded car up with hens, bun anc cats and driven like a demon oh and kids and OH if they were home

[Valkyrie]

I have visions of someone running down the road yelling "Everybody run for your lives! Don't panic!"

I agree too, but, no one had a clue on what was going on, not even the police. They were telling people to get in their cars and leave, to where? People where gathering at the cordons, others where told to go to the local park, at night, when the whole park is dark (no lights in the park)

 

My dad was talking to a police officer, who said that

1) We cant tell you whats going on as it might panic people (being evacuated is not panicking people then )

2) We don't have all the information...

[Geoid]

I just checked on my local newspaper, it was a bomb scare.

[Lewis]

Don't think you were evacuated wrongly or unlawfully then.

 

They did the right thing to get people out if they though there was a risk, rather than waiting to find the information + then act upon it.

I'd rather be in an unlit park rather than at risk of a bomb exploding

[chickenNutter]

Are you sure it was a bomb scare? As you are in a secret command centre planning world domination with Jessie, are you sure they weren't looking for you Fred?

[sadietoo]

Gosh..I would have found it a bit scary I have to say. A few years ago I went to pick DD up from school (right next to the police station ) to find the road closed and all cordoned off, and a diversion in place. Of course I thought the worst and that some lunatic was loose in the school. Actually there was a bomb threat at the police station - but still worrying. I can't tell you how relieved I was to have my DD safely in my car that day!!!

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Not the simplest nor quickest place to get around with a diversion, assuming it's the same police station & school I know so well.........

I'm curious what guide was that ? (I've just been reviewing bomb threat training and that would be useful)

[Geoid]

It was An introduction to international disaster management (I can't remember the authors name, but it was £40 on amazon)

 

What job do you do?
