That's where the Moors Murders were too

True, glibberglobber. I can not drive past that moor without thinking of that horror. God rot Brady and Hindley's black souls the bastards.

Indeed. Hopefully, after the blaze has ended we might find just one bit of evidence as to where Keith's body is. R.I.P the vicitims

You can smell the fire all over manchester, its awful where I am and I'm miles away, must be absolutely awful for the people living close by. The fire service has said they will be there fighting it until Saturday at the earliest.

Yes all windows kept closed
or it gets in their lungs.

With no Rain Due
it will carry on next week
slow or fast burning
depending on the wind changes.
