Dryers a warning....

Mine is a modern dryer, the filter is emptied regularly by Ms H....I know this as she leaves it on the side in the shed(where our dryer is).

Ours has a filter which we also empty on a regular. Now i've got doubts if it's doing it's job properly

You need clear out your belly button, after a shower, before jumping in the dryer.

All a bit mundane really.
Sedated lying waiting on the operating table for the knockout when the surgeon leans over and asks if I would like to keep my navel or will he just stitch it in. It seemed a good idea just to get rid of it.

But you can still give Macbeth a heart attack when he sees it.

Mine was one of the ones that was fixed by Hotpoint. There wasn't any fluff inside when the repairman opened it up, and it was a couple of years old by then.

The recall wasn't due to clothes lint building up; it was due to room dust and fluff blocking the air intake over time. They fitted a differently perforated back to affected machines, which made the fan "chop" dust, rather than allow it to form a layer where it couldn't be reached.

Thanks for that. Had forgotten about the fine detail.

In my job I'm well aware that discarded cigarettes, matches, etc, are very poor at setting fire to grease and oil. Try it (but don't blame me if it goes wrong). Someone even told me that you can put out a cigarette in a pool of petrol, but I would be too worried about the fumes to try it myself.

Investigated an underframe fire on a train. Noted the area where it started tended to collect leaves, which on their own wouldn't cause a problem as they would burn out very quickly. However the presence of oil / grease in the area give credence to the same fire starting theory. Clearly they wouldn't let us set fire to a train to prove it, and happened so rarely that putting cameras in the location to catch it happening would be pretty pointless too, so at that point it remained a credible theory. Sounds like something similar at King's Cross. Can't really set fire to an underground station as a test, but that fire starting process is too sensible to ignore.

I know someone who set fire to a Ford 7600 tractor with sparks from an angle grinder.

He had been baling straw with it so it was covered in chaff and dust. Like all old Fords, it weeped a little oil from most seals so the engine and around the back axle were covered in dried out oil and grease.

He had it in the workshop working on the baler and using the angle grinder with his back to the tractor but sparks going in it's direction when he was aware of smoke and turned around to see flames from under the cab. He managed to get it reversed out and save the shed but the tractor cab and one of the back tyres were destroyed.

I'm worried that friction from my buttocks could ignite my bum fluff.
