After I've had ten pints, me missus goes to bed in a respirator. If I have a curry, she wears the full noddy suit.
So we are safe from the gas-burglars

Indeed. If you have anaesthetic gas they put a mask over your face. It's hard to believe pumping it into a leaky room or building could ever work reliably if at all.Originally posted by expat View PostOne motorhome/caravan organisation asked the Royal College of Anesthetists about this and they said they didn't believe it was possible: the variables were so great that it would be impossible to do it regularly without a high risk of causing fatalities from time to time, and none of those have been reported.

Never heard of a provable case. There are lots of things that can make people sleep more deeply than they think they normally do.Originally posted by Eirikur View PostStories go around for ages about people being robbed in overnight trains this way. Always took it with a pinch of salt.

Also the only remotely suitable gas normally available would be ether (quick-start spray for car engines) and that is so inflammable that mystery fires and explosions would be happening.
