GOOD POINT --------  I should have put NOT to be used on electrical
fires .
All I am saying on things like header fires and  out in the wops  coke
is better than beating it out with ones thongs .

Or upholstery fires (as in the real life case) A Noddy flicked his
ciggy but out the window ( VERY unusual for a bushy any way)
and it came in the back of his crew cab set the gear in the back on
fire then I arrived  around the corner

Shake shake  squirt etc   out went the fire

Better than nothing  but not as good as the  PROPER  kit as you very
rightly point out.
Cheers
