Fire in Manchester
Where there’s smoke, there must be a fire. The streets of Manchester are full of smoke at the moment so there must be a large-scale wildfire. There was no evidence of a fire while I was walking home for breakfast; only half an hour later (now), the streets are foggy with smoke.
As it occurred around 5-6 in the morning, there is no word yet from the BBC. Google News can indentify no source either.
9 AM update: there is no longer a trace of smoke. Good riddance.
