BOMB SCARE IN BRISTOL

I happened to accompany a friend of mine shopping in Broadmead today, when a policeman came into a shop where we were in.

'We need you to close the shop. Apparently there's a bomb scare near the construction, and we need you to evacuate this place. take your own time'

'can we stay in the building?' ask the manager

'i'm afraid you can't'

'how serious is it?'

'they are bringing in the army. it is very serious'

so, we had to do the transaction as quickly as possible, and later went to debenhams.

about 20 minutes later, an announcement was made, telling people to evacuate the building too. and, this time, we were told to rush.

initially, i thought it was a terrorist bomb scare. but, it was different. full story can be read on bbc news.
