I joined the newspaper burners' group when I was 19. I pegged a page from the Newcastle Morning Herald to the clothes line and then I got my 8" F8 and pointed the full fury of the sun at the newspaper and instantly it burst into flames. Great effect but from then on I had to show everyone the trick with the paper pegged on the clothes line WITHOUT it being full of clothes - mum was not impressed. How was I to know it would be an incendiary event? I thought I would just be able to write my name or something......
