“Sounds like someone was trying to keep warm. Hot water bottles are the way to go. Half fill, expell the air, pop in bed a hour before you retire.”

“And when the fire stations are closed by the NELC and the government, how long will the response take? How many lives will be lost in the name of saving money?”
