What law is it that says

[Snoopy]

It will ALWAYS be 2am that the smoke detector will commence its infernal bleeping to let me know that the batteries needs changing ? 

There is NEVER a spare battery of the right size in the house? 

The day AFTER I change the batteries a leaflet from the fire brigade offering a smoke detector test will arrive? 

Despite my following the advice to change the batteries on an anniversary, to ensure that they are renewed annually, the new batteries WILL NOT last a year but die two or three weeks before the next anniversary?

(i) You haven't seen the wiring in this old house 

(ii) You haven't experienced the regular power cuts we get here where most of the electricty supply to houses is above ground.
