Setting fire to a mattress in your front garden slows the traffic

Is this from experience? Do you have many mattresses to burn?

Only the one.

TBH I had to throw a computer chair and a gallon of diesel on it to get
it going.

From experience (40-odd years ago), storing a combined UV/Infra-red
lamp under the bed and accidentally plugging it in instead of the
electric blanket sets light to a mattress very well! The lamp did have a
safety switch to stop it operating if it was closed or knocked over, but
it was a mercury switch and made contact if it was stored upside-down
