Annual service

I've just had my burglar alarm serviced, very exciting! The young youth who came to do it has fiddled with the settings a bit to make it better to use. I have two (count em) improvements:

1. It now only beeps for a couple of seconds after I leave and close the door rather than for 30 seconds as it used to. Potentially much less annoying for neighbours (and for me).
2. I now have a second night-time setting that makes both bedrooms safe, rather than just the main one.

Also got a new back-up battery. And I'm forty seven quid worse off.

The best bit is that at the end I got to set the alarm off. WHOOOH WHOOOOH WHOOOOH WHOOOOH it goes. Until I turned it off.
