You really don't need smoke detectors in a kitchen. The top of the stairwell in a two storey house is adequate. I know this because, being married to a fireman, I absorbed this information by osmosis.

I did think my fireman stepdad was overdoing it with the extra alarms and insisting all door were closed at all times. Reckon he was just trying to show up my mum's cooking 😂
One guy I knew had a knee replacement and was told he'd be able to do an easy walk in about two weeks. So after two weeks he did a ten mile hike in the lakes. You don't tell a long distance walker to do an easy walk if you mean half a mile or so! It was hard enough to stop him doing a 20+ mile run through for a local challenge walk (26 mile challenge walk) at 4 weeks. Since he first worked it out decade or longer ago he didn't like to miss it.
Nope , my cousin had no care package, physio, or anything else in place. Same NHS trust. They saw she could get to the toilet on her own, eat a slice of toast, you'll be fine, off you go then.
We have to take our smoke detector down and put it in another room whenever I cook anything that involves frying chopped chillies - they seem to set it off. Fortunately it's not wired in to the mains and easy to take it off the backplate and put it somewhere where it won't go off. Also has a fairly civilised beep when the battery gets low. Unlike one of our CO2 detectors which shouts out "New battery" in an American accent

Up here - we've all to have connected, wired in smoke alarms - from February. This was only announced a few months ago at most - although no one has had official confirmation Who exactly is enforcing this [and presumably we've all to fork out for it ourselves] and how they're planning on implementing it is anyone's guess.
That's dreadful re your cousin @fidgetbones. Ridiculous about your hubby too. My sis had her knee done earlier this year, but she went private or she'd still be waiting because of all the backlogs and the pandemic. She couldn't walk the length of herself.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My cousin got the operation within the 3 months they said. But then she had been in agony for 18 months before she got to see the specialist. It's not the waiting list for the operation that is the problem, it's the waiting list to get on the waiting list.

My brother-in-law was home in 48 hours and his brother was home the day after the op. Not to empty houses, but both were surprisingly mobile.
