You never hear much about 'spontaneous combustion ' anymore, where people just burst into flames while sitting in their chair

Maybe cause there"s less smokers and drinkers that was thought to be a factor. I remember seeing photos of scorched chairs which was all that remained from latest casualty who'd been reduced to ashes while watching tv

I'm not convinced that I buy the idea that people just "spontaneously combust".

You know what else there's fewer of??? Open flames... we no longer heat most of our homes with coal or gas fires. Maybe that's had some effect on the number of people who might have otherwise burst into flames.
