So...
I live in a village with 6 houses in it, in the middle of nowhere in the Cotswolds. The delightful man in the manor has gone on holiday to Switzerland. This is no problem at all, apart from the fact that his new burglar alarm is an AIR RAID SIREN, and he failed to tell anyone how to turn it off before he left. Electricity can be a bit hit and miss here, and every time there's a power cut, the alarm goes off.
Power cut at 1am, alarm STILL GOING OFF AT 3:05AM, and despite having cotton wool in my ears and a scarf wrapped round my head, I'm slowly going insane.
To top it all off my poor darling Roy boy has got an horrific cut on the outside of his off fore fetlock due to a slight crash in the field with his woman who cantered past him on his blind side and then trod on him when he decided to try and cannon into her. He can't be brought in at the moment because nothing else is in and he box walks himself into oblivion if he's alone, so he's supposed to be out in the field being QUIET, all bandaged up and buted up to the eyeballs....NOT hooning around at 3am thanks to an air raid siren.
If anyone knows how to make it stop, please come and help us...even the 18 year old deaf Bichon Frise can hear it, and my puppy is hiding in a cupboard!
 
Oh no, hope you managed to get some sleep after all that. When is he due back from holiday? Hope he's able to fly home with all this ash about..........Seriously though, if it keeps happening could you contact the police?
 
Eventually the police will cut the cables. The alarm will then ring until the battary dies. Better than it ringing for weeks!
 
At 6am, we called the Gamekeeper and he came with hedge clippers and cut the cables...it was LOVELY. But now my ears are still ringing....
 
I would call the police non emergency number. If they get called out a couple of times like this the owner can be warned that eventually the police will refuse to respond, or be fined.

As long as you dont bother 999 the police should be fine with that, esp as in theory there could be a burglary as well as a power cut! what better cover!
 
ooh fab thank you people!!! will definitely be calling the police next time rather than sticking my head under the sofa!
 
Thank you! Luckily Roy didn't do too much damage to his sore leg last night, just rubbed it a bit while he was hooning around!
Hot chocolate sounds wonderful...I'm currently being utterly vile a troughing a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's for breakfast!
 
Wow that sounds like a fun night, not :(
Nice game keeper though!
And at least you know it won't be happening again :D

Now, i reaaaaally like ben and jerrys, and i'm not at all opposed to having it for breakfast.... ? :D :D
