FIRE!

We remove old plastic consumer units and replace them with metal encased types, but still allow buildings to be clad in combustible materials. Bonkers.

    No cladding in those days! (Save for ivy or wisteria.)


    When I was in transit accommodation in Aldershot during my resettlement training, a false fire alarm sounded. It made the building uninhabitable, so I went out for dinner. The Army officers delved in their rucksacks and put on their ear defenders until a contractor turned up and reset it.
