I tell you it could only happen in St.Helens!

A man marches into Alfred.H.Knight on Prescot rd with a homemade bomb strapped to himself and demands what?

1) Free Tibet

2) Get out of Iraq/Afghan

3)a million pounds and a helicopter to escape

4)a million pounds and 2 laptops


This town! does he not realise he could buy two laptops (why two??) with the money he is never going to get!!


Seriously though i hope everyone gets out of this ok

Well if it were Wigan he'd be demanding;

- A meat n prater pie

- Noble out

- Bring back Edwards



Seriously though, I hope it is resolved peacefully and without any injuries

Just been live on Sky News. Evacuated people being put up in Carmel College.

The lack of specific info and high profile suggest the authorities think it is something fairly serious. Hopefully it is over-caution.

Just gave himself up, it's all over.
