50p saved then.
Our cats used to brush their tails against the parafin heater. Smells something awful!
I could smell burning one evening. I followed my nose into the lounge and the dog was stood next to the gas fire completely unaware that her tail was resting through the grill and was on fire. Reacting like a lunatic with a definite 'manic' air about me...... the dog thought it was playtime. Her tail leapt into motion swishing rapidly to and fro puffing foul smelling smoke all over. She set off away from me around the other side of the armchair with her tail trailing the smoke behind her.
I finally pinned her down in the bathroom and patted out the glowing embers on what was left of the fur on the far end of her tail. It must be 42 years ago but
I know exactly where you are coming from.

Burnt human hair smells just as ghastly... I singed my fringe off in a chemistry class at school.

Pub round here with that name was renamed by locals as "The Brass Cat". Golden lion was considered to pretentious by the locals in a Northern mill town.
Just reducing waste by not binning something that still has life in it.
