Fire!We were all in my aunt's kitchen at the back of her huge rambling Victorian house. I was only small and had wandered off to go to the loo, but given up after finding the hall full of smoke. "That was quick," my mum said after a few minutes. "Yes - it's all smoky," I replied.
I've never seen adults move so fast.
So, like my cousin who'd managed to set fire to the roof, tell us your fire stories.

Fun with GasWe used to light the gas taps in science lessons at high school, excellent fun watching lit gas shoot across the room like a jet engine!
It doesn't dawn on you at thirteen years of age, until you've had a huge bollocking, how close you've actually come to causing a massive gas explosion that would have wiped out four floors of the school and about 500 kids and teachers!
Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
