Combined burglar and fire alarm

[colin todd]

Tam, I thought I said fire-fighters looked good compared to rat catchers.  But if you followed the guidance that I wrote I imagine you didnt go far wrong.  But its all gone down since you retired, Tam.  Inexperienced I/Os and no QA by senior officers is the order of the day.  I rue the day they put radios in the appliances instead of the old fireflash, dont you?

Colin you very well know I was talking about all departments under the control of the local authority. I doubt you wrote any of the guidance we used, I said like you, I suspect you would have been a young spotted youth listening in awe to Prof Rasbash in your beloved Auld Reekie Uni when I joined FP, assuming you were on the first course. As for the present day that's for somebody else to take up the cudgel. Fireflash I remember it well I always carried three pence in my tunic pocket up to the day retired. Ahhhhh.
