was listening to the news this morning and it said that about 5000 smoke alarms that Lancashire Fire Brigade had installed needed to be replaced. They should have had a 10 year battery fitted and after 5 years they've started beeping all the time ..meaning that the battery was low ... The boss they were speaking to said they still worked it just meant the battery was low ... and not to take the battery out ..

10 mins later my smoke alarm went off when i was in the shower again.
