Good on Poundland. Time these things were banned completely.







Much as I don't like to jump on the bandwagon of banning everything



that might pose a danger, I have to agree.







You are floating naked flames up into the air, of course when they come

round-bale silage machines; and the cattle try and eat them in the



winter with disastrous results.
