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

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.


13kg isn't what I'd class as excessively heavy. But then, it's our Dave.

it's heavy enough to need secure wall fixings

Particulary if it's a plasterboard wall

Quite. But then so many who post here know nothing about DIY or indeed
life in practice. ;-)
