Good evening,

No snow here. Was raining this morning and then the sun came out, but still freezing. I am just waiting for tea to cook, spicy chicken with rice. Smells lovely

Afternoon all, anyone any experience of integrated smoke alarms? We have two, one of which, when we tested it, is beeping very quietly...so quiet you can only just about hear it when standing underneath. Has anyone any idea what could be wrong with it? It is integrated into the electrics in the house but has back up batteries which I have renewed with no difference. Thanks in advance.

Bin it Jay, if it's that quiet it's not going to save the lives of you & your loved ones, should, god forbid the worse happen.
All smoke detectors/alarms have a finite working life & it should be marked on the appliance somewhere (probably the baseplate).
Part P of the IEE regulations require that multiple alarms in a single dwelling are interlinked, so that if one alarm is triggered all alarms sound.

Thanks BB, just thought as it's wired in it would be easy to rectify. Will buy new ones. Been looking earlier, think wireless interlinked ones look the best!

Jay, for what it's worth, when I was working I always fitted Aico, good quality alarms available with either replaceable or built in lith-ion backup battery

[Jay22]

Will check them out BB...thanks again!

Ok - I'll play for a bit . I prefer this though, I must say - there's too much shrieky wailing in your choice.

I tell you, you get used to the luxury of having two screens - my pc is backing up (no wonder I don't do it as often as I should - it takes blummin *ages*), so I'm reduced to the lap top.

Hang on, Sweet Dreams has finished - it's lead me to this. Cracking video too.

Just to complete the trio, Annie Lennox in a curly blonde wig....

Last one from me tonight before I roll the string back up.

This is the catchiest tune *ever* written, and qualifies as a proper earworm - you'll have to blame me when you are bellowing inappropriate words tomorrow.

All together now - 'Son of a b........'
