Default Smoke alarms aren't always any good

To whoever tests their smoke alarms by pressing the button - don't. I've got one that bleeps when you press test, but fails to sound an alarm when smoke is blown directly into it!

Roll up a piece of A4, light the end, then blow it out. Waft the smoke into the alarm.

Someday we'll look back on all this and plough into a parked car.
