Decided to pop into the local Hollywood Bowl (Brislington, Bristol)for a quick drink and game of pool with my mate tonight. Whilst we were in there the thunder and lightening started, rain started to get heavier and heavier to the point that most people were talking about it (as you do).
Suddenly a security bloke went running past and a few people in the bar area looked through to where the amusement arcade is and I just thought 'here we go, another fight'. I got up to look and basically the whole width of the amusement area, the entrance and then across to the cafe had water coming straight through the ceiling . it was like there was no roof, just completely throwing it down. At a guess it was like a constant waterfall about 30 yards wide !
The manager announced they would have to evacuate the building, I requested a dingy to get me from my table to the car but the staff had a sudden loss of their sense of humour.
I don't think it'll be open again for a while !
My mate tried taking pics on his camera but I don't think they came out too well, I'll add them if they look ok. Maybe I should sell it to the local paper!
