It was the bit on 'bioethanol petrol'. Been a while since I've heard of a Cerbera fire. We had a real spate of them over a couple of years.
By all accounts, the usual thing is the fire/flames aren't noticed until you stop/slow, and it's a pressurised fuel rail so until the power is killed it keeps pumping fuel out the leak, so you go to massive flames in seconds. Hence why many say they had no time to get to extinguishers. Not sure there's anyway to open the bonnet or easily direct it anyway if it's well alight. I have three in my car, but doubt I could get to the two in the boot...
Sad to see another gone, good news the owner was unhurt.

"I had an extinguisher in the car, just no time.
Just looked in the mirror for the first time since it happened while waiting to have my burns looked at.
My beard has been singed off, my hair and eyebrow also singed so definitely no time for for extinguishing."

Nice to see you smiling Bobbers with all that's been going on with your Dad
Byker - you have my sympathies, like you I don'd 'do ill' very well at all, Mrs.P5B often laughs about it but feeling crap just before I go to work at silly o'clock isn't much fun at all.
IOVVVVTN, taking advantage of a burst of sunshine this morning I gave our battered and bruised little FIAT 500 a quick wash and brush up as we're trading it in for a rather nice Abarth 595 50th Anniversary jobbie on Friday, it popped up on Autotrader on Sunday night and is almost on our doorstep, so we nipped along yesterday, took it for a test drive and promptly bought it!
Apologies P5B, missed this yesterday, that's a cracking little car!!Nice to see you smiling Bobbers with all that's been going on with your Dad

Cheers Bobbers - genuinely excited about picking it up on Friday, I know it's only a car, but bagging it out of the blue right on our doorstep has really put a smile on Mrs.P5B's face

I’m in the wars once again. I’m just back from spending 6 hours in the emergency dept of my local hospital.
I woke again this morning with the other side of my face swollen and swollen buttock areas! No laughing in the corner there young bobbers! That went down after a couple of hours but face still up.
Multiple blood tests are showing nothing.
Last evenings visit to my doctor has him thinking I have some sort of stomache hernia after my terrible bout of indigestion. So I’m to take some prazol of some sort. But the swelling he has no idea.
Emergency doc has prescribed some anti allergy tabs of some sort that Madame M is trapsing around the French countryside to find a chemist that stocks them.
I’m a bit fed up with it and frustrated we can’t find out what it is. May get worse before it gets better as they say.
Agent M is pleased to see me home anyways!

snigger.
Fingers crossed that you're on the mend soon Magoo.
Each evening these past few days my Tinnitus gets worse and I’m wondering if fluid is draining in the night. At this moment it’s awful.My left side of my mouth is still swollen from coming up at 7 am this morning.
Trying to get another gp appointment for tomorrow.
If I have more swelling in the morning I will be off sharpish to AandE again as instructed.

Blimey, Magoo, you've been through it.
We'll stick to Low Risk Trivia until you give the all clear.
For a bit of good news
I finally decided enough was enough and tried to contatc the Endoscopy Suite to ask what the procedure i had showed.
Nope, the phone number apparently only works outbound, you can't call in.
After much cursing and being unable to get hold of anyone, i had a mad fit of inspiration and checked the NHS app.
Yep, the letter was on there.
*sigh*
However, it shows a normal gastroscopy, no sign of a hiatus hernia and the GOJ at 38cms - this bit was a bit worrying as the only things i could find about it, relate to the C word but the form specifically states to be returned to the consultant - so everything appears to be fine.
Not sure what the cough is but at least it isnt the C word and no hiatus hernia means the presence of what took poor JAYB is nil.
Wassat?? When was the letter put on there?
Oh
I see
the same day i had the procedure

Oh bother, best wishes for a speedy recovery Magoo old boy.
I had a swollen face years back, turned out I'd been bitten by some sort of bloody insect. Gave me antibiotics, they did.
Mind, if you've had blood tests, I'd have thought any sort of infection would show up.
