Shropshire Mishap

What the fuck's gone on there then?

Looks like the most savage gangland hit in history or the maddest act of familycide, caninecide and motorcide in the history of madness.

Someone's shot the dogs, the husband, wife and daughter, burned the four posh motors, the outbuildings and the mansion. Craftiest of all, they parked the horsebox in front of the gates and slashed the tyres so the fire brigade couldn't get in.

Strangest of all, according to this, is that the duaghter is thought to have been using an internet chatroom until 1am, by which time the fire had been burning for a couple of hours.

No, seriously:

Well, that's Shropshire for you!

And spending most of my time in Shropshire...

I think one of them went mad because it hasn't stopped FUCKING RAINING all bloody year.

...a measured response then, really.

Turns out that the bloke's CCTV was wired to the police station, and while his own cameras etc have burned out, the police footage is very clear and shows him with the rifle coming back into the house. Done the animals, set the fire, then done the family then himself.

Wouldn't have happened if it had been sunny

Or if it had been in Staffordshire.

It normally does!

Having said that, I can remember a couple of days when it was sunny, but that was last year... :)

Best not to! :)

It's to the east of Wales (Shrewsbury is very close - in fact, if you want to piss off the locals, you can call them Welsh!), south of Staffordshire (Stoke, etc), and North West of that fine city, Wolverhampton! :)
