Last Tuesday, the Students' Union at my University had an incident in which everyone had to be evacuated because someone had suggested in some capacity or another that a bomb had been prepared for detonation!
This sounds ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.
Only, it then got worse, because on Thursday every building on all three sites in Bath had to be simultaneously evacuated (using the fire alarm system) because a similar event had occurred! We had to wait 50 minutes to go back in inside.
And then, on Monday, yet another incident...
I am led to believe that other Universities have suffered to, such as Cambridge, suggesting there is some kind of syndicate activity behind all of this nonsense. And there is nothing to suggest that the series has come to an end either.
Ultimately, it has been confirmed that all incidents so far have been hoaxes, which is just as well. But at this rate, we will have to deal with one that isn't - and I don't think the University is ready for that, even with all this recent experience.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? To say this episode is (or has been) annoying me is an understatement...
