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.

Why do all dressing gowns say "keep away from fire".............?Let me set the scene.......It was your typical sunday morning sitting round the family breakfast table eating coco pops. I was about 14 and my friend katie had stayed the night. My younger brother aged about nine decided to light some candles on the table that where remnents of the romantic night my dad had had with his girlfriend the night before.
Anyway.....Dad leant over the candle whilst reaching for some milk and WHOOOOOOSH! All of a sudden his whole dressing gown was on fire, like a stuntman from a die hard movie. He was screaming like a girl interspersed with shouts of Jesus Fucking Christ. He tore his flame ridden gown off threw it on the floor and began stamping on it with great vigour. He was naked. Totally naked.
I watched this - doing nothing - with my mouth wide open. My friend katie was oblivious and was just munching her cereal until i exclaim "Oh my god dad you are SOOOOOOOOO embarassing". Katie looks up just before my dad manages to cup his privates. Needless to say by monday morning Katie had managed to tell the whole school she had seen my dad naked. mortifying.
Oh how we laugh about it now......
