Pierless
This is rather sad.A huge fire has destroyed the historic Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare.
Dozens of firefighters fought to tackle the blaze which took hold of the partly wooden pier in the Somerset seaside resort at about 0700 BST.
No-one was injured in the fire, though black smoke and flames were said to be visible from as far away as Cardiff.
BBC Radio Bristol reporter Nigel Dando, who is at the scene, said: "It looks as if the pier has collapsed on itself. Nothing is going to be saved."
They've only just completed a major refurbishment too.
Weston-super-Mud (as it is affectionately known chez moi) was the location of Milo's first trip to the seaside.

Absolute tragedy.
One of the finest seaside resorts in the UK and some really fond memories as a child.
I wonder how much it's insured for.
