The front page headline read "Gainsborough woman in narrow escape". It turned out that the local woman in question had not been in Summerland at the time of the fire. She had not even been on the Isle of Man. She had merely considered having a holiday there that week but decided not to go.Simon Titleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04121239127665359267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2277746591174465580.post-90653251714593661702013-04-09T15:08:13.219+01:002013-04-09T15:08:13.219+01:00Classic.
