They're cheap smoke alarms.

That's pretty bad. I've been using leftover Toshibas, and they last
at least
a year.

I bought 6 smoke alarms at once, so I went for cheap ones. 99p on
ebay I believe.

Oh, *that's* a smart move. Expected though.

I did of course test them. They detect smoke perfectly well.

I suppose you waved a smoking parrot under each one?

Nah - he waved each of the smoke alarms at his dodgy homemade 12V fusebox.
