I remember having an apprentice, he was 21. We were hanging fire

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?


Any extinguisher that weighs too much for a person to lift is pretty
useless.

Things seem have changed. Seems that a "modern" 3ltr extinguisher now has
the same fire rating as a 9ltr extinguisher. Personally I think that is a
load of ********, but I'm retired and don't really care anymore.
