We live in an apartment. It avoids this kind of thing.

Re: Do British chimneys have "flue shutters"?
When me and my brother moved into a flat in London we found a copy of "The Daily Sketch" under the lino. It was from 1958. I still have the front page and its looking like the railwaymen are going on strike....
