I have never felt that Authorities are ever on our side, even though we elect them, they are very quick to act when you break the law, and they consider themselves above the law and rules and regulations, how many times do you see council vehicles going about doing jobs parked their vans on...

Double gin & tonic for me then on the house! :) To drown my sorrows!

Are you another anti-landlord whinger, yes safety comes at a price, at the same time money does not grow on trees, if it did then everyone would own their own houses and no one would need to rent out or live in council towers. We provide a very important service whilst all you can do is whinge...

Sounds pretty good, and may take walkies, cause of the price. Not sure if radio linked are allowed in HMOs or do they have to be hard wired?

:cautious::whistle::oops::) worry not, I need to get mains linked ones any way, as alarm going off in kitchen cannot be heard anywhere near bedroom, hence i need to cover all angles even though the recommendation was for just one heat detector in the kitchen and a fire door. Does this deal on...

I am dreading to think what would happen in a major cataclysmic event , we won't have phones, all communications would be dead, no internet, no power, no water, no gas, roads unusable due to cracks, earth still trembling after shocks, all political leaders tucking themselves in deep underground...

where did you get that highly classified information from? Only President Trump has access to this information. I smell Russian hackers now. May be Wikileaks

This is just outside the kitchen in a lobby and there is another one after this in the Dinning room, the kitchen one is now a heat detector, but I am a bit sceptical about heat detectors, how long do they take to respond after a fire has broken up, whereas smoke detectors are relatively quick in...

yup, its like my tenants they don't like the smoke detector going off when cooking smoke causing foods, and so every week I check and find battery has been disconnected, when I ask who is responsible for this? they all node I don't know, there are three households living there, now they realise...

Sometimes it is hard to put yourself in their shoes, may be your feet are much too bigger! But there has been no early response from the council leaders, they are ever so quick to send you summons and demand notices if your payments and fines are late!

@Kankerot: No, in my reply I did suggest turning electrical power off before tackling any electrical fires with water. I will accept that as I was not at the scene, who knows if this bloke may have been woken up by the fire in his kitchen, by which time it may have taken a good hold and he was...

i will be writing to our Mayor to cancel this summer's fire works and send all the money that would have been spent on it to the families of the victims of this fire, let us see how sensitive he is, or if he has any respect for the dead. Let us see if he is truly worthy of a title of Sir Robin Wales

The point is, this man was awake, he knew his fridge was on fire, so what does he do? he starts to pack up his belongings, ready to leave, what he should have done is disconnected his fridge from mains, or tuned off the power circuits (not light circuits) off at the consumer unit, poured water...

I can only speculate as to why someone would be so selfish as to pack his belongings in his bags and get ready to go and only alert one neighbour on his way out to safety, what was so important in his bags that was worth saving? all those poor people trapped on upper floors, did he not think of...

I am not Becko:rolleyes: Should we bring in new legislation to have our fridges serviced once a year and for landlords to get a Fridge safety Certificates? ;)

Respect for what terrorism, you pathetic preacher! You are a complete idiot, I only suggested a possible reason for fridge exploding can only be due to unstable chemicals stored in it, fridges don't explode on their own, ****s sake how many fridges have you actually seen explode?

This thread is about high rise and not high temperatures! Fireman, you are more disgusting by ruling out a possibility of a terrorist plot going wrong, what makes you think fridges explode? any fridge can catch fire like all electrical appliances can catch fire, I have never heard of a fridge...

Originally, it was my intention to rent it out, of course it would be wrong if everyone who could afford a second property and buy it to keep it empty, there would be extreme shortage of housing, so I can see their point, so as I said I bought it to earn some rental income as well as running my...

Not without revealing too much information on public forums, in short the LA threatened me with a CPO if I don't rent it out, as I claimed it was my second home, and it still is, but they wanted to classify it as long term empty so that they could rip me off with Double Council Tax. So i moved a...

A friend who wanted to add his daughter to his car policy, which had just over one month left to run out, he rang them to add her name, they were happy to do that and not even charge him any extra, he was so pleased with that, he couldn't thank them enough! then came the bad news, they said...
