I remember having an apprentice, he was 21. We were hanging fire
extinguishers on the walls in a very posh accountants office. I asked
him if he knew how to use a drill and a screwdriver. He said yes. I
left him to it. The next day I had to go back as what he had done had
fallen off the walls. He made me look like a right ****.

Fixing something heavy to a wall is not something I'd leave to anyone,
unless I was certain they knew how to do such a job.


A fire extinguisher is not exactly heavy.


That applies to all of them?


Mine weighs 13kg.


My Co2 extinguisher must be about that too.

I only use it to cool down bottles of wine.
