All but one of our radiators have bleed nipples that can be operated with either a key or a screwdriver. The one that cannot be operated that way has the bleed mipple on the back, which makes it difficult to operate even with a proper key - what a bloody stupid idea!

On more than one occassion I've reached for something in my back pocket, only to realise after I've pulled it out that it was sharing the pocket with a fixed blade Stanley knife (or on a couple of occassions, a scalpel!) - how I've never done myself an injury that way, I don't know. These days I make sure that I've got a retractable blade and that it is retracted!

Seems a bit risky - some chance of car, toolbox etc. all ending up in a pile!

Not a bad idea - there's one on a windowsill and twoo that are still somewhere else. Considering all of my running around was on a very limited route and the only time I'd use a key would be on a rad., it's amazing how the damned things wander off.
