The problem with Scotland Michael is that the blighters in the Scottish fire and rescue services care a lot about the safety of the public and service to the community, and they will not be selling off the family jewels to Retters and me. Besides which, Retters and I would not like their policies of attending all calls to AFAs before the flames are spotted by a passer by coming out of the windows and the roof.
Retters and I dont want troubled by fires in sleeping risks until people have put theirs and others lives at risk by spending a hour or two frigging about and then phoning us to say that the place is burning to the ground and half the residents are trapped. Then, we might concede to turn out. We like the English system too much to head for scotland, except for our vacations, where retters has never worked out why, in H&I, they still fondly refer to the english tourists as febs.
You say this Kleevshire place is somewhere near T&W and North Yorks. These are both FRSs with whom I have enjoyed a good relationship. Would we be able to buy all three and then amalgamate them, making a few hundred people redundant in the process?
