The Metropolitan catches fire
West Didsbury pub subject of blaze
The Metropolitan pub in West Didsbury was on fire this morning.
The popular Burton Road boozer needed three fire engines to calm the blaze and the police shut down the surrounding roads.
We’ll bring you more details when we get them – in the mean time, fingers crossed the fire didn’t do too much damage to the building and no people were hurt or injured.
Thanks to our man on the street, James Walker, for sending in the pics.

It was probably a dehydrated punter, who spontaneously combusted after waiting so long at the bar.
Probably a punter fed up with the bar prices you mean. £7.80 for two drinks ho ho ho. They are having a larrrrf (at our expense).
The Met is on fire. 31 people 'like' this.
Joo think it'll have got rid of all those disgusting bar flies?!
Quick pour some Pinot Grigio on me - I'm melting, I'm meeeeellltttinnng....
Oh dear Manchester's entire marketing and advertising workforce has gone up in smoke while stood up in a long long very long queue at the bar waiting to be served up a a 6 pound glass of Shiraz at the bar and a bag of wasabi nuts !
I agree with the prices comments..vote with your feet....I have!

Wonder if the firemen were Marlboro Light smoking southerners aswell?
