apparently, there has been a riot outside my house. i didn't start it. in fact i was in the hill grove porter stores talking about 70s sitcoms and innuendo in batman with the bristol sci-fi group. we did hear a helicopter over head and wonder why the pub was so quiet. and then we noticed lots of young people outside the Croft (a nice pub where i sometimes hear folk music) and some police men with horses. and lots of cars. i am currently sitting in clarrie's house eating brie. if people start throwing potential petrol bombs, we shall potentially fiddle. honestly, nothing to see here, i'm fine, probably going to walk home in half an hour. going to church tommorrow and to see morris dancing on Saturday. but feel very spontaneous and immediate and cyber.
not actually literally outside my house, but if the police barricade had'nt been there they might have got to the bottom of my street, possiby

The official police statement can be found at http://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/LocalPages/NewsDetails.aspx?nsid=23224&t=1&lid=1 and the BBC have also picked up on it. I can't vouch for other papers but I suspect everyone will have a view.
If it was a branch of M&S rather than Tesco's, would the rioters attack it with cries of 'This isn't just a brick, it's a hand-crafted fire-brick drizzled with a suspicion of lime mortar'?
