The thread that was here yesterday has been removed without trace for some reason.

Is it in light of today's events?

Maybe in the light of the tragedy today, we should put this thread to bed.

Many people say they saw me flying after midnight!

It's not true!

At all!

I stopped flying after I bought my car...:P

I think I made it clear in the post that this is what I was told by a member of staff.

It was not said in a back office but openly on the floor of the shop with other staff around.

It was not a press release or official statement, but nor was it something someone told a mate of a mate.

I was careful to paraphrase what I was told, and also careful not to mention the gender of the individual.

On the issue of seeing things first hand, many people say they saw a flying saucer too!

(which can be disastrous to hom for any consequence) or just put "unverified info coming from an insider". At least you are saying an info YOU have no first info or sighting.

I accept your source that there has been a fire there. At some point.

But when did it happen and was it the original cause of the sudden closure? The shop doors were fine, clean and there were no signs of smoke (at least near the entrance) and some lights inside were still working when I went there on about 4th April. Couple of days after it shut.

I'll have a look next time I pass that way.

It was me that mentioned an electrical fault and smoke damage at QDC as that is what I was told by QDC staff - not hear say or the grapevine - but directly from an employee who had been inside.

Hmm .. anythng can happen in this part of the world. They said technical reason !! sounds fishy

I don't think so.

Yesterday's thread now gone had included a suggestion that it had been closed because of a fire. If there has in fact been a fire at that outlet, it occurred a long time after the initial sudden closure, on the same day it opened.

Conspiracy theories ....?

Is it open again?

I think the QDC thread had gone before the reports of the Villagio Mall fire - - - if that is what you are referring to as 'today's events'

Mods - is it possible to remove or edit any offensive posts rather than blitzing the complete thread? The first few posts in the QDC thread that has now gone were pretty innocuous. Maybe it got naughty later ... ???

Is it also possible to merge threads in QL Forums - there are several for the Villagio fire - in more than one forum.
