1. My mate who's corgi registered really doesn't like fitting a combi, gas cooker and gas fire because he says the pressure drop can be enough so the gas fire mixture could be affected to an extent where poisonous fumes could be expelled in the room if all three are on (hot water,fire and oven).
2. He also says any gas fire requires ventilation to be put in the room.

Is he correct? let the debate begin

If in doubt refer to the manufacturers instructions,all scenarios should be clear.

If the gas pipe sizing is done correctly then there should be no pressure issues on any appliance. (assuming the pressure into the property is adequate).

Generally gas fires dont need permanent ventilation if there heat input is less than 7kw. However, always consult manufacturers info as they may state otherwise for specific fires.

Well he should get to know how to pipe them up. The boiler should have its own dedicate supply pipe back to the meter. In theory you don't need to, in practice you do.

Presumably he meant "dedicated". Absolute rubbish, anyway.
