  • The sad thing is, Lottie a vandal could sue if he injured himself on the wire, although I think we can use resonable force if a burglar breaks in.

    It has been very wet here, I am sure that the rain is heavier in Cornwall than the South East. But my question is "Is it the right sort of rain or will we still have a hosepipe ban next year?"

    Pam, is a baseball bat 'reasonable force'? image

    I think the reservoirs must now be full,the rivers flowing, all is well with the world- no hosepipe bans next year

    Isn't this all part of Dave's master plan-you can now shoot a burglar but can't kick him to death as lies bleeding on the floor?

    Well I have got barbed wire around part of my fence at the back! We back onto open, non-maintained ground....nuf said! Daft thing is though a policeman said to me one day 'why dont you use it along the top of the alleyway fence?' after some vandalism. Didnt he know? Obviously not that it's illegal if below a certain height, which my fence IS below, because the planning regs wont allow me to have it any higher!!

    Have come in for an early lunch snack before I start out there, plus 2cnd wash load almost done.

    BUT I'm amazed! My car DOES have a washer bottle! Durr, no not quite brain dead, but said bottle is very well hidden down at bottom of corner of engine. Now being female & not mechanically minded, I assumed that all the car had was the visible TUBE as regularly needs refilling. Boy have I called the obviously male desoigner of said car over the yrs! No idea why I leant further over just now, but there it was, hiding, just as my very puzzled mechanic said it was! image Still needs refilling often though....

    Ok off out. J.

    Jo-I am puzzled -how did the windscreen washers get filled up over the years-did the fairies do it?

    A lot of people seem to think so. These are some customer reviews of baseball bats on Amazon:

    Next door neighbours have a monster uncontrollable dog. I've bought this for it.

    I bought this as a security device. You dont have to worry about reloading this baby!

    It hasn't been used in anger but it looks good for the job. If I were to use it for baseball that is.

    Its lightweight but will do the job just fine. Best kept under the bed or near your front door.

    This review is for anyone intending to unlawfully enter my premises.
    -Cheaper than a CCTV system
    -Aluminium is stronger than your skull

    It's light weight, kinda small and the grip is great. I've not used it for anything, but I'm sure it'll smash a few skulls in if someone tried to rob my house.

    Jean after months of trying we sold our house 2 1/2 years ago and were given 6 weeks to get out. We did it in 7 from finding somewhere to moving in. we had stoppped looking. It is possible and we don't regret buying in a rush but take care it doesn't always work out . We used Right move. Typed in all our requirements and posted it.Some agents contacted us with just what we needed.
