Right it's confirmed he is off.


Apparently, his old man was asked to take him when he first came into care but refused to do so because he had tried to set light to the house.


Excuse me,  did I miss something?

Now, Penole is a big old place with lots of things like matches firewood, and stuff like  that lying round.

Outside there's a shed full of wood, fuel for the chainsaw, oils, various paints and other really burnable stuff in store in the cottage and the attached house we are doing up.

Under these circumstances you might have thought it a bit important to tell the carer this chap had a bit of a history around fires, or am I just being fussy.....

Mind you had he taken the petrol and torched the woodshed, looking at all that sawing chopping and stacking going up in one big bonfire I think my kids would have made sure there was a guy on the top!!!
