Well yeah exactly Wee Brian... isn't that what Clevelandfire was talking about?
Im all for fire safety solutions which make practical and financial sense. You maybe ok seeing your way out in darkness, others may not though. We were given an intresting talk by someone who was partially sighted last week.
Until speaking to her I was totally ignorant to some of the problems partially or totally impaired persons have. And thats the problem. I hear loads of people saying " Im alright Jack" citing their own abilities as being sufficient to cope so why shouldn't anyone else's be.
Infact the luminous pad idea is great because Im sure the lady i mentioned above would be able to make out a light square on a dark background.
The only thing with luminous products is they only stay luminous for a set ammount of time. Some may need a good deal of natural or atirificial light to charge up. But I hear these products are improving all the time with luminous products which will last throughout the night on fairly minimal exposure to light.
You are bloomin ratty these days Wee Brian, Im worried about you, always such a nice chappie normally, whats gotten into you eh? has a nasty fire officer kicked you with his jack boots? are you in the dog house with the Missus? Come its friday!!!!
