However, I'm surprised that the show's producers missed such an obvious opportunity to educate viewers about the benefit of a CO detector in the home, which would have alerted Fizz before the poisoning occurred. I have one.

It's not possible to add an odour to it because it's not the fuel put in the boiler in the first place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_poisoning<br /><br />There are detectors that can be installed in homes, but I don't think many people have them. maggie mugginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-31440982841614627302013-01-07T20:24:56.501+00:002013-01-07T20:24:56.501+00:00Mary - good point....but of course if the odor had...Mary - good point....but of course if the odor had been added then there would be no story.

Where I live in Canada, it would be so-called "natural gas", which, we're informed, is odourless, so a "smell" of sulphur (rotten eggs) has been added to make it detectable. Also, wouldn't the council have installed an inexpensive CO2 detector in the building as a safety measure, to protect the tenants, andMary Pranksternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-8860504668110129292013-01-07T18:01:04.785+00:002013-01-07T18:01:04.785+00:00One thing that annoyed me about this week was all ...One thing that annoyed me about this week was all the constant "You shouldn't have fixed that boiler" chastising toward Tommy from everyone.

I think Ivy left it to Nick but at the tender age he was, I think Gail arranged to sell it back to Don who later couldn't pay back the mortgage payments after the garage went under. I think the bank took it back and sold it back to the council.
