    I think feeding time of the WUM should be over.

    The OP has had a result which satisfies.

    I hope the person who was parking the car is suitably inconvenienced.

    To be honest in this scenario I don't really think there is much that person could do!

    I think both the spectator and myself would exchange eye contact and nod as we both knew that my demise is pretty much guaranteed.

    Nonsense.

    It's quite possible for a well built building to contain a fire, given those circumstances, for long enough for the fire brigade to effect a rescue. (Provided no idiot has blocked a needed fire path. ;)
    There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.

    Its a one day course. It usually involves watching a few videos of tragic fire deaths and then messing around with fire extinguishers.

    Its an accredited course run by the fire brigade (I get a certificate and fluescent jacket).

    I wouldn't say I know a bit but I know enough to ensure that my company does not fall foul of the current fire regulations.

    So you should know better then.

    I hope you don't get paid extra to be a fire warden.

    I address each post as I come to them. So I apologise if I repeat what other people have said. But then some people need things to be repeated in order to take it in.

    I notice you didn't reply to the first answer though.

    Which post number is that. You've posted a lot!

    I would question this statistic. I would think that 0.1% is too high. I would say its probably more around 0.000001%. Although without some proper research into this matter its hard to prove either way.

    Don't be pedantic, you know exactly what I mean.

    You seemed to think that nobody had ever died due to locked fire exits. I gave you just a few out of 1000's of examples. Yet you have ignored that post.

    I also gave a link to a video showing the lack of reaction to a fire that could have easily blocked the exit from a shop. Yet you chose to also ignore this.


    I am starting to understand your agenda in this forum is to trigger a reaction.

    Well, if you have trouble getting a third line on a sig that allows six, there is a chance that you may need to acquire an extra sandwich should you ever decide to indulge in a picnic.

    Is this some strange game? Seeing how many people you can wind up enough to say something that you can then use to show the world that everyone is against you?

    You do realise, I suppose, that good, high quality, psychiatric care is available on the NHS, these days?

    Or, you could just go back on your medication. ;)

    I've just noticed JReacher1's join date. There were a couple of people who were PPR'd around that date. And at least one who was warned, and haven't posted much under that name since. ;)

    Yes but thats the sand in a fire bucket so I can withdraw my head and use the sand in the bucket to put the fire out ;)

    But you probably wouldn't, because 'it's not your problem'.

    No I believe when the OP posted about people dying in nightclubs because of a locked fire escape I responded with

    "Has that ever happened?"

    I didn't know one way or the other so I was just asking the question.

    I'm on a phone so don't like clicking on links therefore I haven't had time to review either your video or your links. I will do so later.

    I enjoy the fact that if you disagree with people's views you are either a WUM or a troll. It makes discussions on the internet very tedious.
