There's no door in it, how do you escape?

It's a photograph of a part of a building.  Doors are present.

Are you stating that the profile/cladding has a rating of EU Class B (Class 0) ? Not really sure of your question?

the old Home Office guides had different evac times for combustible and non-conbustible buildings. Is this what you're talking about?

With 5 people in the building, its not going to make any difference.

The Great Lafayette has a lot to answer for.  His grave can be found in Piershill Cemetry in Edinburgh if anyone wants to complain to him.
