At my age you go for a pee 3-4 times a night. Got up at 3 this am for a pee, saw 20ft flames coming from the direction my new lawnmower shed. Shouted my son out of bed etc etc, climbed onto the shed roof (made from 1”thick self milled spruce [emoji6]) with my garden hose in my y fronts. Firemen came and put it out.
Verdict?
Compost heap spontaneously combusted. Heard of it with wet canvas and hay stacks but compost heaps???
Eggs, do you mind telling me where you were at 3am this morning?[emoji1345]‍♂️

I might disagree with you on some subjects... I'm not after BBQ'ing your wife and kids mind.

I'm lucky if my stream clears my trousers mate.

hopefully the fire destroyed the Russian vine I planted 20 yrs ago which has taken over the hedgerow and several trees

I hope to goodness there were no female fire-fighters present,

cos if they were they will be suffering from PTSD,

based on an extrapolation of your avatar image vis-a-vis your likely  "Y" front clad appearance.

3 years ago at home without explanation,

smell of smoke,looked around,found a flower bed with chippings started to burn...

not surprised at all...spontaneous combustion is real,all its needed is heat and wind
