Very funny!

Typically useless journalism.

They actually mention "storing batteries alongside metal objects" and got a quote from a fire investigator, but still failed to describe the problem - shorting the battery presumably, but it's clear some people need telling.

 Time to give up e cigarettes ? - zippy
I was about 10 when I tried to get my dad to give up smoking. There had been a campaign that I had seen somewhere and I was clearly worried.

I got some of those paper caps that you could put in a cigarette and when lit they would burst it open with a bang.

I was keen to get the right effect so I carefully took the first few millimetres of tobacco out and inserted the whole pack of caps and then replaced the tobacco.

It took dad several months to grow is eyebrows back!

I hid from him for about a month!

He did give up though!

Fairly typical of the intelligence level of people who smoke e cigarettes - or any sort of cigarette for that matter.

His jacket pocket is on fire/exploding, so what does he do?

He tries to run away from the jacket he is wearing!

You are, of course, quite right.

I was just checking that my grumpy levels are topped up, ready for Christmas!

Reminds me of when I was about 8 years young, my 'friend' *Micky put a firework (banger) in my pocket!!

Still carry the scar to this day ... *He was much older than me - my older sister bashed him!

I have a scar on my upper thigh from a smoking related accident. At school, we'd gone off to cadet camp and I'd rolled up the next days smokes and put them and the England's Glory non-safety matches in my jeans pocket. I hopped up onto the top bunk and he entire box of matches went off in my pocket - I can still smell the stink of burning cloth and burning flesh.

As the fags etc were illegal I couldn't do anything about it so I had a festering open would on my leg for the rest of the week and for many weeks afterwards. Still have the scar.

My Dad used to tell me the story about being on guard duty in Italy looking through a small window. Stepped away to spark up and a bullet whistled through. So in his case :))
