Chimney Fire

[Coalman]

You do know why you should call in a chimney sweep every autumn, don't you Coalman?

The new stove had only been fitted 2 months ago. Installer came around yesterday - went oops (he had not swept the old flues very well - the firemen did get four buckets of burnt clinker out!).

He is coming today to re-install and give the old flues a thorough sweep.

Did you not maybe consider waking the 6 yo up just in case, you know, your house caught fire?

Every thing was ready to go if the firemen said leave the house - we took advice from the experts.

My grandfather used to sweep chimbleys.

And attend weddings for good luck.

My grandfather used to dig the stuff out of the ground that folk burnt and which resulted in chimblys needing to be swept

A bit of excitement eh Coalman, to liven up your week.
Top Tip - dont try the old 'Father Christmas will come and climb down the chimbly' routine with the 3 year old
