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!
