Tried to write this 3 times and got bombed out so very short version now.
DP is a firefighter.
They (the government) are trying to close stations etc according to their statistics.
Apparently, fire deaths are statistically at the minimum.
This is what really goes on.
If the person doesnt die on scene its not a fire death.
As in, if the person dies on the way to hospital - its not "counted" as a fire death.
If the person dies of smoke inhalation, burns etc. in hospital, guess what, its
not counted as a fire death.
Well blimey,that would lower the statistics now wouldnt it!
End of factual rant now.
Off to have last swig of gin (deep sigh) but have a lovely dark chocolate truffle calling me from fridge. Sod slimming world!
