Of course he can Barry. Whatever is forecast to happen will be dismissed by Dave if it suggest Brexit may not be a good thing, and will be espoused by Dave if it suggests Brexit may be a good thing. In both cases it won't matter what the source, his response will be directly proportional to whether the forecast says Brexit will be good or bad. The same will be true post Brexit, if it happens, and will continue to be so for at least the next 20 years. For Dave, belief is what governs his reaction. If he believes in something, everything that supports his belief is good, and everything that contradicts his belief is bad. If the Archangel Gabriel were to tell Dave that Britain will be worse off post Brexit than if it had remained in the EU, it would make not the slightest difference. Gabriel would just be dismissed as spreading Holy Remoaner Propaganda. I hear his powers of casuistry are even envied by the Jesuits, and they have a track record in that field extending back about 500 years! Just look back at his track record on gas attacks! Even the President of the Royal College of Anaesthetists couldn't persuade him that gassing the occupants of motorhomes without killing someone from time to time was impossible. Mind, he was a true expert in his field, so his opinions were ripe for instant dismissal. No logic on earth can persuade Dave to alter his opinion once his mind is made up.

Mind, he was a true expert in his field, so his opinions were ripe for instant dismissal. You mean my track record of not believing RCoA experts "are experts in the use of Carbon monoxide as a Anesthetic?" ;-) ............ Thank you for your recent email concerning The Daily Mirror article. However, it appears to have given rise to some misunderstanding. Although the article identifies in the headline that it refers to exhaust fumes, it then goes on to quote from a statement on the Royal College of Anaesthetists' (RCoA) website (http://www.rcoa.ac.uk/news-and-bulletin/rcoa-news-and-statements/statement-alleged-gassing-motor-vehicles). ***Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which is a poison, and is never used in anaesthetic practice.*** The RCoA statement refers specifically to actual or potential anaesthetic agents as follows: 'It is the view of the College that it would not be possible to render someone unconscious by blowing ether, chloroform or any of the currently used volatile anaesthetic agents, through the window of a motor-home without their knowledge, even if they were sleeping at the time. Ether is an extremely pungent agent and a relatively weak anaesthetic by modern standards and has a very irritant affect on the air passages, causing coughing and sometimes vomiting. It takes some time to reach unconsciousness, even if given by direct application to the face on a cloth, and the concentration needed by some sort of spray administered directly into a room would be enormous. The smell hangs around for days and would be obvious to anyone the next day. Even the more powerful modern volatile agents would need to be delivered in tankerloads of carrier gas by a large compressor. Potential agents, such as the one used by the Russians in the Moscow siege are few in number and difficult to obtain. Moreover, these drugs would be too expensive for the average thief to use'. I hope this clarifies the situation and the RCoA will be asking The Daily Mirror for a correction.

Brian Kirby Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 CO poisoning results, eventually, in death. Mild CO poisoning has a variety of symptoms, but unconsciousness takes about two hours to result. High concentrations are, obviously, more lethal, but the same source (the NHS website, so easily dismissible expert opinion) advises that "loss of consciousness and, in cases where there are very high levels of carbon monoxide, death may occur within minutes". So essentially, your tea leaf has to hang around for about 2 hours un-noticed waiting for his victims to become unconscious, which seems a bit unlikely while poking a tube from your vehicle exhaust (but through what?) into their van, or turn up with something capable of generating sufficiently large amounts of CO to anaesthetize them quickly (40 tonne truck on full throttle, a tank?) in the knowledge that unless you then lower the concentration very quickly you'll kill them. There is nothing for me to explain. CO simply could not be used reliably to induce unconsciousness without killing. The reason anaesthetists don't use CO as an anaesthetic is because, in simple terms, it is far too dangerous to administer for that purpose - even under highly controlled, operating theatre, conditions.

You're in that Eygiptian river again Brian............De Nile (lol) ................ Ahem - point of order! :-D This is from the HSE Review of alarm setting for toxic gas and oxygen detectors - ref RR973, 2013. "4.4.3.1 CO alarms The performance standard BS EN 50291-1 (2010) specifies the CO concentrations and exposure times at which domestic CO alarms shall activate; these are summarised in Table 4. Table 4 - Domestic CO alarm levels and exposure times from BS EN 50291-1 (2010) CO alarm level Must alarm before Must not alarm before (ppm) (min) (min) 30 - 120 50 90 60 100 40 10 300 3 - Times before which the alarm must not activate are specified (in addition to alarm activation times) to prevent spurious alarms, e.g. from fuel appliances starting up. Guidance on alarm setting for CO alarms can be found in BS EN 50292 (2002). Here, the principle of alarm setting is outlined: CO health effects are related to % carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) in the blood, which is primarily dependent on the CO concentration and the exposure time. Consequently, the alarm set points in Table 4 are designed to approximate to the COHb curve around 2.5% COHb, which is the guideline value set by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2000) for protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and pregnant women. The WHO guideline values (given in rounded ppm values) and periods of time-weighted average exposures, which ensure that the COHb level of 2.5% is not exceeded even when a normal subject engages in light or moderate exercise, are: • 90 ppm for 15 min • 50 ppm for 30 min • 25 ppm for 1 hr • 10 ppm for 8 hr" You are using a glass half empty argument, which is merely the inverse of my glass half full argument. The alarms are supposed to trigger before the concentration reaches a dangerous level, at which level the concentration is designated as an unsafe, because time is also taken into account. As you can see, CO traces at low levels can be tolerated safely for extended periods. There was, so far as I am aware, no suggestion that the CO concentration in the van had been sufficient to render the occupants unconscious, just that there were measurable traces. What the permissible alarm trigger points illustrate is just how difficult it would be to render people of unknown ages or body mass unconscious while robbing them, without accidentally killing them. So I am not in De Nile - where the biggest risk is the alligators, but you are in De Poo - where the biggest risk is just inhaling! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Because they were exposed to carbon monoxide: that much is not in dispute. It seems they were also robbed - of what I would consider a relatively high in possessions for people holidaying in a camper. It also seems the robbery and the CO exposure were during the same day/night. The real question is whether the robbery was linked to the CO exposure. Have a look here - especially at the concentrations of CO required to render people unconscious in short time periods, and at how quickly death follows at those concentrations http://tinyurl.com/jhe49ft Somehow the robbers were apparently able to judge when the occupants were unconscious before breaking into the van. How, if they were outside? How would they be able to judge that moment, shortly before death, before entering and before the occupants died? Why did none of the occupants die, yet all were rendered unconscious? They are of differing ages and sizes, so some should have either remained conscious, or been very close to death. To me, it is just not feasible that so dangerous and uncertain a method could have been used to more or less simultaneously knock out six people, some sleeping on upper bunks, without someone failing to succumb, or dying. Far more likely is that fridge or water heater exhaust fumes entered the van, or a defective gas hob generated CO while cooking, and resulted in the build-up of a low concentration of CO, to which the occupants were exposed over several hours while in the van. Since they all seem to have woken at the same time, at around 6am, it seems improbable that could have been when the effects of the CO poisoning simultaneously wore off, and more probable that they woken by the robbers exiting. There is just too much improbable speculation and coincidence involved for the robbers to have used exhaust fumes to keep them all unconscious while robbing them. My conclusion is that they were just the victims of a cruel coincidence. First they were gassed by CO for unknown reasons. Second, they were robbed while they slept. In the absence of any rational explanation as to how CO could be used to simultaneously anaesthetise six adults without serious (or inadequate!) impact on at least one of them, the only logical explanation is that the two events are unrelated other than by the coincidence of both happening in the course of the same night.

It would make no difference where anyone slept as CO mixes immediately upon entry as the scientific experiment I highlighted in my thesis proved ;-) ..........

But you omit to say how the robbers could know the CO concentration inside the van while themselves remaining outside. But look, if having an alarm in your van keeps you feeling safe from robbery while abroad, that's fine by me. I simply don't share your fears, so see no need to install spurious comforts to keep them at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get a response you leg it ;-) .......... BTW I think a CO alarm is a sensible addition to any camper, not only as a useful warning if some scroat attempts to use CO to rob us........but just in case our gas fridge or heating goes on the blink :-| .......
