Just did the digital neighbourhoods survey and noticed (not with great annoyance, more amusement) that under the occupation question, the closest thing to what I do (full-time mum) was described as 'looking after the home'. Made me chuckle as in reality that's the LAST thing I'm doing when looking after small demonic 13 month old! I know it was traditionally described as housewife, but really - looking after the home! Thought councils had to be v right on!
Perhaps its more of a general occupation rather than implying you are a full time parent - i mean u may not have children, are not a lay about or are a homemaker I dunno. The whole q was silly as it certainly didnt cover many other levels of employment either *shrugs*

I thought the question about 'is the forum friendly' (or something like that) was a tricky one....in the end I wrote a comment at the end to say that I felt the Family Room was generally very friendly (exclusing a certain recent thread), but that other parts of the forum tended to be less so.

With you on that one Molly. I generally feel quite welcome/secure/warm and cosy writing here (in the Family room), but get quite anxious when I venture to the ED issues or the Lounge - especially the Lounge.


Big chicken me! ;-)

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
    • Have you ever considered your own motivations?
