Banstead Waitrose burns to the ground

[JAY PS]

Some of you would have seen this on tv

Here some pictures taken yesterday

The explosion broke windows of shops on the other side of the road

woah, what caused it?

[JAY PS]

Cause unknown ,

Started around 8.30 pm Fri night ,local CCtv rang the manager to tell him smoke was coming from the roof ,they evacuated the store and around 9pm a massive explosion ripped the roof off bringing debris and roof tiles onto the road and shops opposite

Local papers suggest may be arson ?

Building as you can see is a total loss and will be pulled down

Temperatures inside were 2,000 degrees!!!!!!!!!

Re arson:

My money's on the owner of the van in the 3rd pick

 

Renovations & credit crunch = no business.

Burn place to the ground = instant business.

 

Did what I just say constitute libel/slander??? Oops.
