I was born in England and my dear Mum also endorsed this idea even when we moved to Australia
Also not to warm my feet near the fire as I would get chillblains and not to sit on concrete as I would get piles (haemorrhoids)

Mum also said, on very cold mornings after toasting myself by the fire, not to put my coat on until I was ready to depart otherwise I would not appreciate it

They had a massive rainstorm on "I'm a celebrity". I'm guessing that wasn't enough rain to put out the fires?
