A banker is someone who lends you an umbrella when the sun is shining, and who asks for it back when it start to rain.

  • I have always wanted one of one of these systems after seeing a documentary on an American town that disbanded its fire service after installing a sprinkler system in all homes. Previously homes had burned to the ground before the fire service could get to them. I would be very keen to have sprinklers in my next house which I will probably design myself and incorporate lots of energy saving and safety features into.
    It might be worth looking at websites in the States or Australia as I think it is more common there due to wooden built houses and rural locations.
