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.

At Glasto earlier this year...Being thoroughly prepared we took copious amounts of food - just about enough to feed our party of four, and eight or nine neighbouring tents. Among these provisons were two Tesco value single use barbeques, and 16 rashers of bacon. After a good evening's band watching, and a very long night of touring the various night-time attractions, we were sitting around back at our tents watching the sun come up and trying to coax said barbeque into life.
My good friend, who shall remain nameless, was quietly watching these culinary proceedings with bottle of poppers. It is highly likely that he was under the influence of these substances when, reading that poppers are highly flamable, he emptied the bottle onto the barbeque.
3 minutes and numerous 12 inch psychadelic flames later, I tasted what can only be described as the most interesting bacon I have ever eaten. Two other bottles of a similar nature were used to incinerate a tent of ours that had become surplus to requirements. This would have be fine were it not for the high density of other peoples tents in the area.
