How much would it cost to make your own? Paper bag = £0 (get one free with shopping). Tealight candle = £0.20. Bill for rebuilding someone else's house when it burns down = £250,000.

(I assume these "10 for £24.99" ones are guaranteed not to burn down property, you see.)


Burning down the houses of certain people: priceless. They have that advert campaign over there, too?
