I was deep in the land of Nod last night , it was peaceful, restful , restorative. Then at 3.58 am (approx) my world was shattered by a blaring siren, shattering my calm.
The friggin burglar alarm of an office across the way was whooping and whirring away. Now if this was a one off it I would be a little more understanding perhaps ( perhaps not though at that time in the morning ) but this is about the third time in 2 weeks . They have not been broken into on any of these occasions , it seems the alarm is slightly defective and has a mind of its own.
It will be completely defective very shortly when they return to the office and find that the thing has been smashed to pieces by a random act of vandalism evil:

I have now resorted to listening to tunes on my mp3 player to block out the bastard noise evil:
-
I could be mistaken but if this thing is going off so frequently because it is faulty can't environmental health step in on the grounds of noise pollution?
-
You are not mistaken but a better way to get it sorted is to call the police and report a burglary in progress. Several calls to the same alarm and they start sending invoices to the premises owners. That usually has the desired effect.

Course they can - I could write the bloody notice and schedule out for them - I have all the templates at home eveilgrin:
Except that the local authority I live in would no more action this then they would pay me some back on my Council Tax evil:
And I can't authorise it as I'm only authorised in the local authority I work in and not live in

Surely uou have a contact in your local authority though. There must be some form of networking.. rubschin:
-
Networking is one thing - asking then to do something is completely another noooo:

You get further with a kind word and a sharp axe than you do a kind word Miss D. eyes:
-
Call the old bill every time it goes off. They will soon get it sorted if only to shut you up.

Only if I can say the alarm is completely stoned , has a knife and a gun and is in the middle of a ten person fight. This is Sarf London scared2:
-
Intruder alarm going off = Crime in progress. Those are the magic words in Sarf London and everywhere else.
Dial 999 and say "I want to report a crime in progress". They have to respond. whistle:

Been there , done it .....got the 'No Response' T shirt

If you can get contact details for the building manager somehow then you can always have fun ringing him up each and every time the damn thing goes off. Wait and see how fast its fixed then.

As I understand it they have had an engineer out today. This from one of the neighbours who is home all day and doesn't miss a thing noooo:
