Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

Same grandad, but me this timeWhen I was around 10 or so we were mucking about with some fireworks in the garden, cue him telling me to hold one while he lit it as it's got a slow-burning fuse.
No, it didn't, it had a fuse with the same burn time as det-cord, hence the nice white burn scar I still have on one of my fingers
