🍻 Hold onto your pints, folks, because we've got a fiery tale that'll leave you scratching your head! 🔥 That's right, TWO fellas have been slapped with the arson suspicion label after the iconic Crooked House pub decided to go full-on bonfire mode. 🕺💃 Talk about turning up the heat on happy hour!

Picture this: a couple of gents, aged 33 and 66, probably plotting their grand escape from the monotony of daily life, thought, "Hey, why not add some sizzle to our lives?" So, they allegedly set the Crooked House ablaze on August 5th. 🏚️ But here's the twist - just a few days before this place turned into a toasty marshmallow, it had changed hands. Coincidence? 🤔 We think not.

Now, this pub wasn't your run-of-the-mill watering hole. No, no! It was as crooked as my attempts to parallel park. 🚗🙃 Legends say that coins and marbles would defy gravity and roll uphill along the bar. And you thought your physics teacher was bonkers! 🤪 The place was so wonky that it had more angles than an episode of reality TV.

The building had history too, like your grandpa's favorite fishing story. Originally, it was a farmhouse built in the 18th century. Then, it decided to ditch the plow and become a pub in the 1830s, becoming the talk of the town with its lopsided charm. 🏡🍻 But guess what? Mining in the 1800s caused some subsidence shenanigans, and suddenly, one side of the pub was like, "Hey, I'm 4 feet shorter!" 📏 The Crooked House was born, and the pub was officially more twisted than my attempts at yoga.

Now, the real head-scratcher is this: the place was just put up for some swanky protection status right before it went up in smoke. Like, talk about bad timing! 😂 The new owners had barely unpacked their 'pub stuff,' and the whole joint went from quirky to crispy. But hold onto your tilted hats, because here's the kicker: the digger that transformed the place into a pile of charred dreams was apparently hired BEFORE the fire. Like, they ordered a "ruin the place" special in advance?

Cops are doing their detective thing, trying to figure out if these gents were just dying to make a spectacle or if there's more to this wonky tale. So, if you've got any info, don't be shy – call 'em up and share your twisted thoughts. 🕵️‍♂️💬

And hey, remember, life's too short to take things too seriously. So, raise a glass to the Crooked House – the pub that took "leaning into the bar" to a whole new level. 🥂 Cheers to odd angles, unexplainable mysteries, and a blaze that turned a legend into ashes! 🔥🏚️🍻 Hold onto your pints, folks, because we've got a fiery tale that'll leave you scratching your head! 🔥 That's right, TWO fellas have been slapped with the arson suspicion label after the iconic Crooked House pub decided to go full-on bonfire mode. 🕺💃 Talk about turning up the heat on happy hour!
