This is what the dictionary says Rodders -

bonfire [ˈbɒnˌfaɪə]
n
a large outdoor fire
[alteration (through influence of French bon good) of bone-fire; from the use of bones as fuel]

Never knew that ! Interesting one, bud :thumbup:

Bon Voyage

Didn't know you could use bones as fuel either :think: Just how many bones were they burning for it to be common enough to get in the dictionary :wtf:
