Do you have working smoke detectors in your house?

April Fools Day is the day that we change the batteries

do you have daylight savings time in Australia? the rule in my house is: when you change the clocks, change the smoke detector batteries.

Yep, that's the advice here, too.

We do, I always wonder where they stash that spare hour??

Not all of Australia seems to need Daylight savings

[Daddles]

Got a licenced sparky to install two, hardwired smoke detectors. One worked a treat. The other would drain the backup battery in a few days. He never did work out what the problem was. Then the divorce came along and that place was sold so I don't even know if putting in a new detector fixed it :confused:

I know, I know, we have the same rule/idea but I still wait for the chirp and save 20c a year, and lose a nights sleep

Sorry, I put 2 "T"s then one, then 2 again.
Should have realized, saving "T"s would count also.

Where did this come from, about Scots being tight??

You just opened a huge can of worms, mate!

Everywhere in Oz with the exception of Western Australia has Daylight Saving.

Over here it has been determined by popular vote that such an interference with the basic rules of nature would cause curtains and carpets to fade :confused: , cows to give milk in the middle of the night , lambs to be borne prematurely and, if I understand it correctly, the earth to spin out of control and send us all hurtling to our doom :eek: .

In other words, we don't have Daylight Saving here in WA. Consequently, we waste the beautiful summer evenings by turning them into beautiful summer evening traffic jams on our freeway. :mad:

(Don't get me started! .....Too late! ...... Now look what you've gone and done! Aaaaarrrggghhh!) :mad: :mad: :mad:

How wrong can you be Col?

Queensland and WA combine to take up more than half of the Continent's land mass, and since Qld does not choose to save daylight either, it would appear that a only little under half the country does.

Or have I got that wrong?
