Re: Wanted: Crash Helmets

Re: Here, kitty, kitty, kitty

Sorry but I agree that this is offensive in this post, the owner has been desperately looking for his cat for some time and is distraught. In its self the post would be amusing posted in jokes as a funny tongue in cheek item, but NOT in this thread. Imagine if this was a missing child thread and som...

Re: Prosecom

Don't know this company but was in the alarm industry for 22 years, any alarm can suffer from false alarms even with no one in the property. Infra red movement detectors the commonest type fitted are never 100% reliable and can on occasion give spurious false alarms, this is why they are always powe...

We ate here a couple of weeks ago, great food and a fantastic new building (especially as Oswald built it himself), advisable to book though as they were having to turn people away when we were there.
