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.

One of my less proud moments...I was around 13 at the time and I had just acquired a job in a cheap shop, similiar to poundland but we sold nothing for £1. Anyway, one day some friends come in looking to buy some lighter fluid, which I sold to them on staff discount.
Later that evening we meet up in the local park and I see they're carrying the cans of lighter fluid. They were playing that old game of burning benches and anything else made of wood. I didn't use common sense when making friends as you can imagine.
Anyway, we come across a pigeon that appeared to dead. One of the group decided to prod it.. It wasn't dead, but it didn't have long on this world for certain.
A certain friend decided to speed up the process, squirting on the entire can of lighter fluid on the unlucky pigeon.. I don't think I have to tell you what he did next...
There is something deeply disturbing about seeing a burning pigeon freaking out, whilst at the same time setting fire to the surrounding shrubbery. We scarpered pretty fast, never taking a second to look bastard at the devastation.
I didn't hang around with them much after that.
