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.


What do you think set the parrots on fire in the first place? It
wasn't his all lead & plastic Chinese smoke alarms.


I love the smell of smoked parrot, in the early dawn of the morning!
