I would have to change the door bell chime.

I actually binned our door bell because it used to ring on its own. Something nearby was triggering it.

I liked not having a door bell but my dad installed a new one whilst we were on holiday, wrongly thinking we wanted one!

I can understand that… actually this bell is on the gate…only have to go to the kitchen as monitor and intercom is there …we dont have a door bell… but folks could not get to the door unless they get through the gates… so I have to check every time the ding dong goes

worth a gander if you have time :D if not this is a excert from it on nationality…. made me laugh

The English are British and lots of people think the British are English but that annoys the Scottish and Welsh because although some think they’re British and some think they aren’t and some think they are but don’t want to be, they all agree that they definitely are not English.

The Irish mostly think they are Irish, apart from the ones who are Northern Irish. Some say that makes them British and Irish. But others disagree and say they should just be Irish and then some say they aren’t British either but part of the United Kingdom.

People from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland can all play cricket for England because they’re British as can those from Ireland even though they aren’t British. So can South Africans. The English play football for England unless they aren’t that good when they might try to play for Ireland.

Those from the Isle of Wight are English, from Anglesey are Welsh and the Orkneys are Scottish, but although that means they aren’t from the island of Great Britain they’re still British. The Channel Islanders depend on the crown which is what the Queen wears but they aren’t in the UK and those from the Isle of Man are the same, apart from their cats. :D
