We have had two awful days. Yesterday the whole avenue had a power cut which resulted in my already faulty burglar alarm going off and refusing to be turned off. I had to call out an emergency man to disconnect it. It was 20 years old mind. Anyway Charlie hated the noise - he has never heard it before. To cut a long story short the emergency man came back today to fit me a brand new alarm which again set Charlie off. He was a very big clompy man with a loud voice and he threw his tools into his box making both Charlie and me jump. At the end of his tether Charlie ran half way up the stairs, and battered the man round his head through the stair rails.
