Me too WB
We have a smoke alarm in every room but just in case the bathroom window can't be used and we can't get to the DC's they've been told exactly what to do. Fine line between scaring the living daylights out of them and them knowing there's a plan of action, but it needs to be done.
Right, I really do need to go and clean now. I get on here and can't get off

Mine is set similar to yours SA.
20 degrees C is the standard ambient temperature for a test room / engineering lab, so it is a temperature I am most comfortable in
I also have an escape plan in case of emergencies, it is NOT an uncool thing at all, it is sensibleBUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
