What is it with curtains and swally?

This could go in a planespotting blog.

A passenger refused alcohol on a flight to Vienna tried to set fire to the curtains on the Boeing jet he was on. At first it was thought he might be a terrorist, but no, just pissed.

There must be something about alighting curtains when you're steaming though. Lord Mike Watson of Swaldonia was sent to prison for setting fire to curtains in the Prestonfield House Hotel in Edinburgh - also after being refused swally.

Note to any licensed premises, whether airborne or ground-based: ditch the curtains, or at least get them asbestos lined.





Are these safe from a swally-induced fire?
