    Jeez, love you too!!

    Actually, the other two detectors at the bottom of the stairs and kitchen (all open plan) would have done the job as i tested them following this one being ripped off the wall.
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

          Good to know.

          I live in a ground floor flat in the back streets of Farringdon and thus my bedroom window has metal bars across it on the outside.

          So if there's ever a fire in the hallway of my flat i will be cooked alive.

            Sounds like a large emergency angle grinder would be as useful for you as a fire extinguisher, assuming you could rely on the mains still being connected in the event of a fire

            or better still some Primercord

            A rope-like plastic explosive used in various demolition jobs. Primercord can be wrapped around conduits or small girders to sever them or taped to a wall (In a circle) to blow an entry hole. It can also be used to link other explosive charges together for almost instantaneous detonation (it will detonate other explosives by itself, without the need for a blasting cap). Primercord itself requires a blasting cap for detonation, though it will burn in a non-explosive manner with conventional lighting.

            Type Primercord, 1 meter

            Weight 0.5 kg

            Price $15

              Get a petrol one. A friend has one. For some reason he wants to go round cutting down speed cameras.

                  I edited my post - Primercord is the answer, now what was the question again?

                  (although actually, a pipe cutter sounds like a practical alternative)
