While out at a social event last night, a friend related part of his
days events to me.

He lives in an old farm house and had, until yesterday, gas fires in
several bedrooms fitted to the fireplaces. I assume they've been in
place some years, I'm sure the house has been in the family for a very
long time.

Apparently, during a routine check, he was advised the fires were unsafe
as gas fires were not permitted upstairs in bedrooms. He had them
disconnected and removed.

I've never heard of this regulation.

No flu tests were done etc- so the matter wasn't related to CO etc, at
least in terms of the fires having malfunctioned/flus being blocked.

Anyone familiar with this situation?
