i forgot to mention that I don't get on with mobile phones,sat navs,sound bars,heating programmers and cooker timers. Very happy with a wireless and an on and off switch though.
I though kindling was the small strips of wood, moss, paper, whatever, that you used to start a fire and that the verb to Kindle would be to turn that item in to a material that would do that job, rather than meaning simply to burn an item, although burning would be part of the process of using kindling.
