I set fire to my shed.
A relative had given me one of those Thomas Salter Chemistry sets for Christmas (i must have been about 10) and i had a good combination of whatever it was, burning away thanks to heat from a methylated spirits burner in the box.
I didn't know at the time that Creosote is flammable.
The wind took the burner and it fell onto the concrete and smashed.
Then up went the shed !
Cue several terrified looking adults running toward me with buckets; cups; watering cans.....anything they could use, filled with water to throw over me and the shed ! 🤷🏼♂️
