    It's the first sign. The second is answering back.:rotfl:

    Then the OP and his alter ego Lee.d appear to have succeeded on both counts.

    ... the OP and his alter ego Lee.d ........

    Or perhaps it is trinidadone who is the alter ego of Lee.d?

    Let us not ponder this conundrum too deeply - That way madness truly lies!

    Thank you my man, you seem to talk a lot of sense, for that reason I will follow your advice, and some other posters which have provided valuable advice also, infact I think I have all the information required. Thank you for giving me a shout, and fighting my corner, see you around sometime.

    I will follow your advice,

    What advice was that- ignore the replies you don't like and give yourself a pat on the back?

    That does not give any suggestions to help your colleague.

    I'll be the least surprised of any of us when you do!;)

    on the subject of sprinklers being added to high rise flats as several people have commented - I would just like to say that this is not always a positive point.
    My husband is a former firefighter and in his experience they are often vandalised by idiots.
    Sprinkler systems usually need to have glass sensors which break when under heat which then sets off the sprinklers - the fact they are made of glass means they are vulnerable to being broken by idiot people who think it's fun to try and set the sprinkler system off.
    for that reason ( let alone the impracticality of retro fitting the system) it is not the "cure all" people perceive it to be.

    60 minute fire doors are a better protection against fire and non flamable materials in emergency exits such as concrete and metal
