I'm all hyper to-night

meat pie

I cannot calm down at the moment because as I was cooking the tea,( sausages burgers chips beans eggs mushrooms etc) the chip pan appeared to ignite and flames ,no ,one big flame shot almost to the ceiling.I couldn't get near the cooker after I'd turned off the gas, as the heat was so intense.Only my daughter with me, she started to call 999, I took over the call, trying to describe how to get to our fairly off-the-beaten track house, spelling t-h-e-n-a-m-e-o-f-o-u-r-h-o-u-s-e, heat getting very intense now, ceiling about to catch fire,spelling the name of n-e-a-r-es-t-t-o-w-n, screaming to daughter, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! Giving up with woman on phone, husband comes home, turns off gas bottle ( duh!) beats out flames on wall. Fire engine + police, all well now finish cooking tea on stove. No it wasn't the chip pan it was a split in the gas pipe which caught fire, maybe we can decorate soon!

Thanks Blues Brother and SYN, can't do big electricity as we are at least 50,000 away from mains supply.We are usually very safety conscious, but the pipe had just split over time without us noticing, WHEW!

Thanks Matty, funnily enough, I did think think it would make an excellent excuse to miss a meeting had I still been going.Thanx to all.

I saw the title of this thread MeatPie and couldn't imagine you getting "excited" about anything. You have such a calm, quiet demenor I had to see what you were talking about!

YIKES! I'm glad you and your family are ok.

Don't you just hate it when the men folk show up and calmly figure out what's going on and put the flames out!

Thanks for sharing that experience, it put a smile on my face.

Hugs,
