Blow torches: are they still used?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Guy King
saying something like:
They're good for starting home-made hot air baloons. The plastic film
you get your drycleaning back in is good - cut loads of panels and tape
them up. Wire hoop round the base with dangling wires carrying a bog
roll soaked in paraffin. Inflate with the torch, light the bog roll and
away it goes.
Must remember that for November.
