    No, what's insulting is calling them engineers......

    As if they somehow compare to the likes of Isambard Brunel or Nikola Tesla.

    I build high spec gaming PCs and used to run my own IT business, I now work in defence sector electronics, I think I'm more than qualified to determine their skill level.




    That's a very pompous and up your own backside post if ever I've seen one....

    My god your ego must have taken some building as well!

    Does the person who built your ego have some sort of recognition or reward for their amazing achievement?

    While i agree the op has over reacted and the inclusion of wont somebody think of the childeren seriously annoyed most readers (myself included). The critism of calling the firebrigade is unwarrented, especally this rediclous comment



    The op stated they called the firebrigades none emergency number. All firebrigades in the country offer free fire provention inspections on request, some will even supply/fit smoke alarms for you for nothing. All this because they beleave its better (and proberlly cheaper) to send 1 man round in a car to provent a possiable fire (even if it takes 1000 inspections before they actually provent as fire) then to send 8 men in a truck to drag a smoaking corpse out of a house. No lives would have been put at risk due to the inspection, in the event of an emergency call requireing the officers attendance he would have left the inspection immediatly.

    You obviously haven't read the OP's post correctly - they waited TWO DAYS to call out the Fre Service - they thought their house was in danger, their terrified children were at risk - good grief!

    So my comment was not ridiculous (note the spelling).

    Did they wait 2 days?


    I read it that they contacted the fire service the next evening.


    And if you must comment on spelling at least make sure there are no mistakes in your own post!
  • Gosh, we still do not know if the children are safe!

    How could/did the fire service ascertain whether or not there was a gas leak?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
