Riot! Riot! Riot! - false alarm

Last week, all around the country, people were preparing for riots to break out in every city. As I drove home I could see black smoke above Southsea and I too assumed something bad had happened in the city (no smoke without fire).

It turns out that the empty night clubs on the sea front (bought by Harry Redknap to be redeveloped as luxury seafront apartments) including the famous... or should that be infamous Joanna's, had caught fire. The police and fire crews were quick to say it was an electrical fault and not rioters which seemed to calm the Southsea residents down.

Here is a picture I took of all that remains.
