Today I spend the day in a building that used to be a home for adults with learning difficulties. It is now our training centre (academy).
I knew the day would be frustrating as core mandatory training largely involves discussing the colour of bin bags, and how to lift a box,
Then in fire awareness I learnt about 'Intumescent Strips', This are strips of a material that expands if a door is burning, creating an air lock. It sounded fascinating. Why is there so much fascinating stuff that can never be tried out. I did recall the amazing time dad heated up shoe polish on the stove to make it softer. It spontaneously ignited, and he got the opportunity tio at last use the fire extinguisher. This scooped up the hot burning fat and sprayed in all over the kitchen wall. Poor Dad, We loved it but he had to clear it all up.
