Re: Had the fire brigade called to a five star hotel, in Malta....
Some friends of mine who live in Glasgow came home from a night out and decided they wanted a pizza. So they popped one in the oven and went and sat on the couch in the lounge to wait for it to cook.
Some time later they were woken up by a fireman who explained that they should probably have been watching the pizza.
Fortunately for them a neighbour had noticed the smoke quickly and called the fire brigade. Even more fortunately they'd failed to lock their front door, so the fire brigade didn't even have to kick the door in.
While we're on the subject of hotel toast, why did none of those hotels have that most hallowed of toasting inventions, the conveyor belt toaster? I've always wanted one of those things, and I assume it's a lot harder to leave bread in it to burn.
