RobAndrews Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 It must have caused some crazy damage. I was supposed to be at the farmyard biker rally where they losy 9 people (later found) and 40 bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobAndrews Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 yeah, fair play to the security guard he ran staight to somewhere to switch the electric off. the girl operating the bowling desk bit put an announcement out for the manager to go to reception as it happened ! ummm, i think he might have noticed love !!
