Is it me or does the SKY article infer that it was the governments fault that this idiot burnt herself?

[jonny142]

Fire spokesman from north yorkshire said she had a gas cooker on at the same time !!

[Pesty]

No sympathy and not one fk given here.

Gas cooker on so nakid flames around fuel fumes. Darwin at his finest.

[DAVEVO9]

Was just on Sky that she had a gas ring on in the kitchen?

The fact that they mention Francis Maude's "Advice" in red, and in bold, is a bit odd, isn't it? He didn't say "bring petrol into your house and then move it from bottle to bottle next to a naked flame", did he?

Im with the poster above, bet she was smoking

You do realise it's nigh on impossible to light petrol with a cigarette?

Yup and high explosive burns, not detonates if you light it, but I wouldn't "prove" that either

its not impossible to igite the fumes though. and you have to light a fag with a naked flame

Yes I know if you throw a match in petrol it will go out.

She had a naked flame on with a gas ring, So I imagine the fumes caught fire?

So she had the cooker on while pouring petrol, presumably she also fixes the bathroom light while standing in the bath.

A lit match would be extremely likely to ignite petrol.

Some Government agency, I think it was in Australia did over 2000 tests and they could not even once ignite petrol with a cigarette.
