Emergency services were called out to a fire on Blackpool's famous tower, only to discover it was an orange netting flapping in the wind.
"It may be a wind-up", said a spokesman, "but we certainly got the wind up when the wind got up and the fabric started flapping"
"The flames were a fabrication, it appears, but we were flapping alright"
"Its a flaming joke", said one Blackpool resident.
