“Oh give over Cod -basking in reflected grief. It is sad that somebody died, yes. What is equally sad is that you seek fulfilment by announcing your "connection". And also - If that really is your house then you need re-paint the top of that electric substation your Sky dish is bolted to.
Lets have some perspective here... just imagine if every death / tragedy reported on here was commented on by members of the attending emergency services...”

“I can only hope that people who write stupid comments, don't have to go through something like this themselves. It was my garden and I had to come home to this. Such a sad event and very sad for the family.”
