It Was 35 Years Ago

 

It was Summer 1987 when Mavis Enderby enjoyed her final cigarette.

She was in The Snug of the Jolly Submariner Hotel in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, and Mavis was enjoying a Capstan Full-Tar ciggie.

Seconds later, she was engulfed in flame, and died in seconds. Some say it was a stray ember igniting her control-top pantyhose, but other said it was spontaneous human combustion. We may never know.
