I notice that once again, and for the third year running, electric blankets are undergoing safety checks in West Sussex. What has happened to this service in Brighton?
The last time I had mine checked was at Roedean Fire Station three years ago. So many elderly people have electric blankets and unless these get tested on a regular basis one never knows whether they are safe or not. It is high time this service was reinstated before someone dies from a faulty blanket.
