dennis@home laid this down on his screen :
Don't forget that firemen search wardrobes for kids that hid from a fire
and behind doors for adults that didn't remember the keys to open the
door.

I leave keys inside both back and front doors.

I keep all my keys (front/back door, car) on a keyring that is always in
my trouser pocket, together with my wallet and mobile phone,

Wouldn't work for me, I have a snooze almost every day and it would
be a damned nuisance to have to take my jeans off every time I do that.

with my trousers close at hand at night. The reason I keep my keys on/near
me is mainly so I don't lose them by absent-mindedly putting them down
"somewhere";

I fix that problem by always putting the keys and wallet
in the same place every time, in a pile of bins intended
for sheets of paper which sits beside the main chair that
I spend most of the day in when not actually doing
something around the house or yard.

the benefit for emergency situations is a bonus.

All my 13 patio doors, don't need a key to get out thru. 5 in the
main room one in each bedroom and 2 in the main bedroom
and what you lot call a bungalow with not even any steps outside.

Hopefully in an emergency I'd either put my trousers on (if there was
time) or at least grab them, and so have the means to open doors, call the
emergency services, and move my car if that would make it easier for
emergency vehicles (or if it put it out of range of the fire setting the
fuel tank on fire, making a small fire bigger).

My next door neighbour, when the house on the other side of his to mine,
was deliberately torched by a rabid loony in the middle of the might,
went out in his undies when the house went up with one hell of a bang
because the loony had poured lots of petrol around inside the house
and then tossed in something she had lit, a rag or something.

At least I wouldn't be faffing around trying to remember where each set of
keys were.

I just have the one bunch of keys and don't
need any key to get out of the house.
