As anyone who has ever had one around the house (or anyone with a good memory of their own days as such) teenage boys are not exactly the most domesticated of creatures. Most parents would be delighted when (even if) they started to show some interest in getting the washing done and so on.
Most, but not all:
In a freak string of mishaps, Sean Davey, 18, left a
washing basket full of clothes on top of the electric cooker. He then
accidentally knocked one of the hob controls, turning on one of the
rings, before going out to meet friends.
The
heated ring set fire to the basket of clothes which, in turn, heated a
nearby bag of shopping that his sister Nicky, 20, had left for her
brother earlier in the day.
And
that caused a can of Sure deodorant to explode with such force that it
not only blew out windows but cracked a wall and even, briefly, lifted
the roof off the bungalow.
Three fire crews
tackled the blaze in the home at Caister-on-Sea near Great Yarmouth,
Norfolk, on Sunday evening. Firemen rescued one of the family’s
labrador dogs while the other one escaped of his own accord and
reappeared, somewhat shaken, eight hours later.
Sean, you just sit right there and I’ll deal with the washing, OK?
