You really don't like it when someone is as sarcastic as you, do you Toddy!

For someone who could be a real help on this forum, you invariably come over as unhelpful, arrogant and sarcastic. Shame!

I strive only to treat others as they treat me.

I have obviously failed to meet your high standards.

I can try a bit harder, if you wish!

Speaking as an employee of an organisation that Lord Todd derides and scorns on this board more than any other, I would like to register a vote of thanks for his witty and well-written posts. (Derbyshire Carol is class). They usually make me smile. As I used to attempt to write policy documents I know how frustrating it is when a guidance document is received as the latest religious text to be analysed.

Having said that I take the point about specifications of fire alarms coming before design and I fear it may be something else that FRSs will be blamed for. Our enforcement notices usually say something like: your fire warning arrangements are sh**, an L99 system should sort it aht.

Happy Christmas

Big A, thank you for your words of support, which mean almost as much to me as the pussy cat salt and pepper set I got from my wee girl for Christmas.

In return, I must be gracious enough to admit, the cart before the horse approach to fire alarm design is not the fault of the FRS.  It has always been a major philosophical problem, and lies with M&E consutlants and other specifiers. A reference to Category on an EN is just a steer, though I agree, for some Categories, it wont mean much without additional info.
