I would be one of the first people who praise our firefighter. They DO do a very difficult and at times traumatic job and comment below is in no way directed at them but more towards The Mail.

Why are we constantly getting such silly fire reports almost every day on this site? I for one am getting bored with them. Are they only on here as 'space fillers' because the Mail can't afford to employ 'real' reporters who actually go out and search for real news stories instead of relying on press releases/statements?

Not too sure if you read my comment about 'certain articles' or not? If you did you would have noted that I didn't say I was bored with the newspaper. Here is what I DID say

I'm also not too sure where I said I was the centre of the universe. Please explain.

Yes I have approved it for a very short period of time.

He wished to attend the Cowley Road Carnival.

He is well; but still inclined to ravings on this post site, and unfortunately at the carnival.

He can only improve, with assistance.

Almost out of nappies now.

The old bath chair is bearng up under the strain very well.

Yes Alan, That nice Mr Ison will come in from the next door Ward, and visit soon.

Does the OM have a fire-fighter as a reporter? I ask because the only 'news' you get on the ambulance service or the police service seems to be derogatory? Why?

Captain Flack, Trumpton Fire station says...

Look here, I'll have you know all the fire reports in the Mail are filed by me, Captain Flack, of the Trumptonshire Fire Brigade, its a tough and dangerous job getting the mayors hat down from a tree, rescuing Mrs Honeymans cat from a ditch and ATTENDING BATHROOM FIRES. Enough of your insolence.

I have nothing but gratitude for the Oxfordshire Fire Service. I was once overcome with a terrible stomach upset due to eating a very spicy meal at Aziz on the Cowley Road. A fire fighter was despatched immediately, and stayed with me for an hour blowing softly onto my ragged ringpiece in an attempt to cool it.
