hot stuff...
And I've just remembered another one...
I grew up in the glorious council estate of Wood End in Coventry, which I'm proud to say was (is?) one the most deprived areas in the country. This was the kind of place where cops sped through, 'cos if they didn't they'd get bottled. Not the most salubrious of neighbourhoods, but interesting..
Anyway, I once happened to look out of the window of the flat we lived in and saw our local bus coming up the street, with the top deck happily burning away. The driver somehow hadn't noticed, until a passerby pointed out that he may have a problem. He stops, the passengers on the lower deck get off (there was unsurprisingly no-one upstairs) and we all watched the bus disintegrate into a pile of melted gunk and and ash.
Better than telly, was Wood End...
