proper stowage of a fire extinguisher

This is why you should make sure your extinguishers stored properly, and that the pin can't come out of the handle.

1 6Kg powder exting going off in rear of disco makes a lot of dust. the blue patch on the road is where the dust settled as it poured out the back of the disco.

You could always get a series.
No namby pamby soft bits to get covered in dust just open the vents or use the leaf blower.

Nah got a proper lamping torch for that. That's the only fully legal offensive weapon you can get in the UK. ask any policeman.

A properly folded newspaper (aka the Millwall Brick) is quite good in a squeeze too but it has to be a broadsheet for maximum effect.

Nice one! brings back memorys of a a ford galaxy I worked on a few years back,some pikey smashed the window,knicked the stereo and then went through the glovebox finding the fire extinguisher which the decided to set off inside the vehicle.Took a good few hours of cleaning i can tell you!

was it at night? someone sneaking about with a torch ?
just wondered as the word pikey came up twice in one thread!

No it was broad daylight and I set it off myself accidently. The pikey link is a bit tenuous.

oops, the comment was addressed to wreckhunter, implying that the pikey who broke in to his galaxy might be the owner of the pikey torch seen in the pictures. Seem to spend all my time being misunderstood !
