            We have a like quarter sized fire extinguisher in the cuboard in the downstairs as well. People look very perplexed when they see it or I tell them. Seemed like a good idea when I bought them but must admit I've never checked the date or anything on them and they've been there years. Suppose I should.

              Remind me, was it the look I gave you before or after you wet yourself?

                  I had my house rewired when I moved in, so all the smoke alarms are interlinked and powered from the mains (with a battery backup). I'm using Kidde Fyrnetics:
                  • Ionisation alarms (1SFWR) in each of the downstairs rooms
                  • Optical alarms (2SFWR) in each of the upstairs rooms, plus the hallway and landing (i.e. 1 on each floor)
                  • Heat detector (3SFWR) in the kitchen
                  I also have an FD30 fire door for the kitchen, on the basis that a fire is most likely to start there.

                    Everyone got a CO2 detector by the boiler? Just replaced my status one as it signalled end of life (quite cool)

                    Fire alarms you probably have 10 years from manufacture but do check!
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
