Man puts out Southend Pier fire by peeing on it
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
A man put out a fire on the world’s longest pleasure pier by urinating on it.
Thomas Watson noticed a small fire on the deserted Southend Pier and took matters into his own hands by relieving himself over the flames.
The council thanked him for his “quick-thinking tinkling” but said it was confident its own sprinkler system would have worked, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Essex Fire Service confirmed it was called but no action was required.
Mr Watson, 22, from Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, was visiting the 1.3 mile (2.1km) pier with his partner and daughter on Friday at about 19:30 BST, when he noticed smoke and small flames on the wooden planks.
The weather had turned and “we were literally the last people there”, he told the BBC.
Mr Watson said the fire was “only small on top”, but a lot of smoke was coming from underneath and he “thought it was all burning under there”.
“I looked at it and the wood was proper charring away, like white with an orange glow.
“Using my initiative I decided to empty my bladder.”
Although his partner had called the fire service, Mr Watson had tackled it by the time crews arrived.
A Southend Borough Council spokesman said: * “Whilst we have faith our sprinkler system would have soon sprung into action, we understand the visitor deployed his own sprinkler system to swiftly extinguish the miniature inferno.”
* He said the family could come back and visit the pier for free, but added: “[We] kindly ask that he keeps his trousers firmly secured on this occasion.”
*Emphasis mine.

Knowing this country; I half expected him to get a ‘Well done’ medal and an £80 for urinating in public

I love my country but there are stuff that perplex me.
Peoples wish to queue. Had five customers wonder round asking where they can pay for their items. Five self service tills open and two colleagues manning them. Two customers already using two tills. I said, use any one of these. Rather than use the three empty tills, two of them went and stood behind a customer at one while the other three stood behind the customer at the other till waiting their turn. I just stood and shook my head.
