I had to look that one up as I’d not heard it before. The only reference I could find though was a youtube video, which I admittedly didn’t watch in favour of reading the wikipedia page, which does not mention any cow being involved in The Great Fire of London.

I wasn’t actually being that specific, just accounting for it being a long time since cows were common in the streets of London, there having been at least one major fire in the time since, and cows not generally being flame-retardant 🤷🏻 Note to spell check: no. I do NOT mean to call British cows “flaming retards”, and I’m frankly insulted that you’d think me likely to! 😄
