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.

as a young'uni set the carpet on fire in the living room (as you do). I ran outside to tell my parents, who were playing swingball at the time. My father was in the middle of a particularly powerful backswing and caught me square in the forehead. I've got the scar to this day. Thankfully, I managed to get out "Carpet...fire...urrrgh" before I fell unconscious. The fire was put out. I was taken to hospital. And a new rug was bought to cover the scorch mark. Ah, those were the days.
