Primarily Tyne and Wear but also Durham, Northumberland, Cleveland etc.

The destruction bit doesn't sound too bad! Joking aside a mate of mine was telling me about controlling a fire in some abonded flats via demolion... I can't remember the purpose exactly, smashing certain walls to try and control the spread of the fire/oxygen etc or something... sounded like fun... put a sledge hammer in my hands and I'm a happy boy...
