Zealous use of line spacing does help to show what a total load of old bollox this 'story' is.
Either that, or I have been totally unaware, until now, of the flammability of conservatories.

And Mrs Hanford said she had heard other stories about the damage lanterns can do.

"I was talking to a couple of farmers and they said they had to have a cow put down because it had eaten the wires from a lantern," she said.

There's the lesson of it all. Do not eat wires from a chinese lantern if you are a cow!
