There was a note in BS 5839-1 2013 that more or less said, in buildings that don?t have 24/7 management, it?s a good idea to locate the fire alarm panel in a location that can be seen from outside by the attending fire service. The idea being that they may be able to determine if it?s a confimred fire before they kick the door in (I?m sure the BSI committee express this more eloquently).
This note doesn?t appear in the 2017 revision ? does anyone know why it disappeared?

Was a thing of the past.

I cant believe I helped an AI though. Dammit, I will never get to heaven now.

Don't worry your knowledge and experience would only be wasted there - the other place is much more suited to your talents.

'When I die I'm going to heaven because I've spent my time in hell'

In November, I experience (maybe suffer is a better word) my 45th anniversary in fire safety. God will embrace me in heaven for the pain and suffering of 45 years of dealing with firemen.

When one dines with an AI, it is always prudent to take a long spoon.
-
From experience it would not matter if they could see the panel from outside - they need the zone chart to cross reference
unless of course its a Graphics panel ;)

Bravo!
I'm tempted to get this printed on a T-shirt

...the pain and suffering of 45 years of dealing with firemen...
I was going to chastise you for not using the term "firefighters", but on second thoughts I've only ever had problems with the males of the species, so you're spot on...

JockAI, I will buy some of these tee shirts. They will be good for zoom meetings with LABC. if you get a couple, I will pay by return. Extra Large please.

Fishface, sadly just as you now get female body builders and airline pilots, you now get fascist aggressive female firemen. Did you know you cant use the word manhole any more, though a contractor only this week came to repair one in our private lane at goodness knows what cost.
I have to tell you though, Frankie that my urban street vocab was enhanced by two new words this week. Someone told me I am woke, which he advised me means alert to the injustices of society (who wouldnt be after 45 years of dealing with firemen and civil servants). Then a Borough Commander of LFB ( a surprisingly delightful chap) told me that my idea for a facility at a block of flats for the firemen was "Gucci" I had to ask one of his junior officers what the hell he was talking about and how to spell it ( I assumed Gutchi) but apparently it meant he loved my idea.
I am hoping to find an opportunity to include the words in an expert witness report sometime.
All the best bruv.

As you have demonstrated Colin, There's always something to learn when you hob nob with officers from the finest fire brigade in the UK ::) ::)

Yes, but mostly never to employ ex officers of LFB, which remains company policy.

Its Bro now Colin

I am loving the insertion of the word 'mostly' Colin. Go on, admit it, that this there to give you a means of escape in case I ever come knocking with my CV isn't it? ::) :o

Grey Ham, when did it change to Bro??? Should I now drop bruv from my vocabulary or is it still accepted urban slang.
Messey: recruitment@cstodd.co.uk is the address you will need, but your cv is likely to be filtered from onward transmission to me if the word London appears anywhere in it. I would suggest you just refer to employment by a large metropolitan FRS in a capital city though not that of Scotland, NI or wales. In the covering letter, say you want to join us to receive proper training for the first time in your fire safety career. We are so overloaded at the moment that we might give you a telephone interview, but do remember not if the word London appears in your cv. Mention Scotland, even if it only to say you once went there on holiday with Mrs Messey and the Kids and enjoyed the warmth of the welcome to someone so unworthy of the hospitality.

I used to learn a lot from you fellas but this forum seems to be far too easily diverted from reasonably serious discussion on fire safety matters in favour of the futility of badinage. I thought there was a particular topic area on the forum set aside for those who felt the need to talk crap.

What does badinage mean?

You are right, but he started it ::) ::)

You invaded Poland, Messey. Tony, thanks for that. Seems to fit.
