  Just a further word on this incident. Word has reached me through the grapevine that it was all for nothing. It appears that one of our seafront shelter inhabitants left a home made phone charger device in the public toilets for safekeeping while he went into town. Of course someone else then saw a package in there with wiring etc and the rest we know about. The guy responsible was released without charge I understand...presumably because it wasnt even a hoax..which would of course be chargeable.
  
  But good heavens the amount of disruption this caused was unbelieveable. And the costs will have been high to one and all. Not only was the Bomb Disposal Unit called out but there were extra police all over the shop tied up for most of the day. Also local business like the Premier Inn will have lost out because nobody could access their establishment. All cars were blocked out and no access through the main road as that was blocked as well.
  
  Traffic too was diverted all over town which would have needed yet more police and further effort.
