Fire Kills.
During one school assembly we had a talk from a local fireman and a fire safety elephant, I believe it was called "Wellyphant".
I'm not sure if it was a reginal creation or what, but basically it was a bi-pedal elephant in a firemans hat and a pair of wellys.

Anyway, we were all being drilled by the fireman (ooh er) on the perils of playing with matches when Wellyphant keeled over. No idea why.

So there we go. Don't play with matches and may that be a lesson to you all.

Matches, matches, do not touch, they can hurt you very much.

Playing with matches is great fun!
Our favourite game was to skateboard around a car park or playground striking matches on our grip-tape and throwing them at each other. It was especially fun in the dark because you could see the matches better.

We used to flick then of the box, so that they'd light and arc through the air.
Every bit as riveting as it sounds, I can assure you. Especially since we only every flicked them at walls, into damp grass.

The Northampton Welephant got sent down for being a nonce.
