TheBatt   10 #1873 Posted November 10, 2011 Has that got owt to do with them metal barrels found in littlewoods that said "warning highly flammable" and so what was the first thing somebody did? drop a match in one which sent a flame about 20ft up in the air which singed the eybrows of everyone leaning over the barrel ?  Not that one, the one Ime on about is when the pensioners flats were been built and about six houses on Knutton cres had to be evacuated,this was a gas bottle that they just turned the tap on then lit, then they scarpered. they think its tough on the cross now? they ve never lived.
