Funniest thing you heard today

On Saturday I went to Bolton to see some bands. As we rolled down the west side of the M62, a plume of black smoke was visible over North West England. Naturally enough, this was Bolton, or rather a large tyre fire not far from the venue. Even better, in between the venue and the tyre fire, was another fire, in a partially demolished warehouse. I walked over to have a look at this, it was almost out. A group of scally kids on bikes appeared from a subway and the mouthy one of the gang began to pepper the nearest fireman with questions.
"What caused it mate?"
"We don't know yet son."
"Is it nearly out?"
"Yeah, it's nearly out."
(kid thinks, points at thick plume of smoke from tyres up the road)
"Are you pissed off you're not on that really big fire over there?"
"What caused it mate?"

"Is it nearly out?"
"Yeah, it's nearly out."
