11th April. How Safe Is Your Chimney? II

I'd not long started wrestling with a length of 8 inch class one liner when another woman arrived in matching pink velour with an unusual breed of dog, breathless after the short walk from next door.

"We'd like a liner in our chimney" she gasped, "and we want to fit a stove in another room and we want a liner for that as well... after what happened over the road..."

The sight of the blazing farmhouse had left a distinct impression on everybody that lived in sight of the flames.

Mrs Pink Velour with the designer Setter would be the fourth woman in this small segment of Perthshire.

Once they see Mrs So & So having her chimney done paranoia is simply racked up to the point were they're scared to light the fire...

"George?"

"Yes dear?"

"George, I've lost all confidence in our chimney d'you think we should get it lined?

"God no! that'll cost a fortune, the chimney's fine as it is."

"Well Rena's had hers done."
