2 Several sheets of kitchen paper scrunched up and soaked in cooking oil makes an awesome barbecue lighter.
* but I've always been a fully paid up member of the awkward squad, and I spent three hours yesterday traipsing round various local shops buying Sooper Speshul burgers and saussies because my kids won't eat Tesco's crap. I blame the way they were brought up!
