It's just the way I am Paul, my children still Roll their eyes at my ' just in case' approach to matters I have battery back up systems for my security lights, cameras and of course the house alarm along with both mains and battery powered smoke detectors, torches placed around the house just in case of power cuts during the hours of darkness which are sure to happen especially this year when we finally break ties with the 'Common Market', you can bet your sweet life the French will start playing silly beggars with the electricity supply we get from them. Being a Yorkshireman the 'belt and braces' approach is always on my mind. Only had one fire onboard ship fortunately we were alongside so the option of having to clamber into a Lifeboat was not an option.
Unlike the WW2 German Airman who crashed on a Runway in Scotland threw the Dinghy out and clambered into it, no torch you see.
