So Much For A Smoke Alarm.
 

So there I was trashing, erm I mean answering a thread, I had put some potato's on to heat.

Suddenly I realised time had passed and I had neglected my food, I went to the kitchen, (yes I have a map showing me directions), to be greeted by a black cloud.

Now, unlike some I am not a time served Chef, but even I realised that my tatties are a touch over done.

A cross between roast, crisp's & cinder with the knowledge that a saucepan needs replacing, not the way boiled spud's should end up.

I opened the back-door to allow some air in and was greeted by an ear piercing, shrill, 98 db wail as my smoke alarm went off.

O.K. it worked, but shouldn't it have done that earlier? When I first moved in it used to go off for a lightly toasted piece of bread!

Please don't tell me it needs cleaning my Landlord had it inspected and vacuumed less than a month ago.

I suspect the potato's, home grown & sometimes I can't make it upstairs so maybe it's the fertilizer?

These are those fancy, wired together run from the mains, never let you down 10 year back-up rechargable, when one goes off the other goes off connected smoke alarms, I reckon if I'd been in bed, by the time the fire brigade had been alerted the crackling would have been done just right.

Re: So Much For A Smoke Alarm.
 

Less, you are hopeless.........why don't you get a timer? One with a loud ringer........then you wouldn't be cremating your food, you'd be eating it.

OK, so maybe you didn't want practical advice.......you got it anyway.

Re: So Much For A Smoke Alarm.
 

You are right & wrong, I didn't ask for practical advise, that's the right bit, and I didn't get any that's the wrong bit.

If I had wanted practical advice I would have asked for the number of a decent take away, sod this 'do it yourself' malarkey, I'll leave it to the professionals in future.

Re: So Much For A Smoke Alarm.
