@benjojo somehow I'm certain that my old school mate's Scout troop could still have worked out a way to get that pile burning.

@tmcfarlane give it a high enough oxygen environment and I think everything is solved in that regard!

@benjojo liquid oxygen was hard to come by in Croydon in 1992, but then they were amazingly resourceful when it came to pyromania, they would have worked it out.

@benjojo
My Attorney: Have a look around at the glorious EPAL European standard shipping pallet
<some time later>
me: EPAL look like the sturdy big sister of the wimpy GMA
My Attorney: GMA will now be known as "runt pallet".

@benjojo given the sort of things that seem to be shipped on normal wood pallets, I'm left wondering what exactly justifies aluminum pallets
