You also get anti-bark collars that emit a high pitched sound audible only to the dog activated by barking see:

or those which spray a citronella (or odourless apparently) smell when the dog barks see: http://www.woofnwhiskers.co.uk/multi-vet-antibark-collar-p-980.html
Never used either."A cat can have kittens in the oven, but that don't make them biscuits." - Mary Cooper

My first computer had a 5 1/2" floppy disk drive. HD? what was one of those?
I know it! Infact, I used use an Omega disk drive to back up data - thought that was amazing at the time !!
Good to see that people can make use of these dinosaurs and save them going into landfill though :beer:

OMG - I'd no idea about that til I read your post. When I saw the original post, I thought it was a joke
Can't believe so called pet lovers would subject their animals to that.

Can I just say I love this forum. Don’t get me wrong I have had some great things off freecycle only last night I got a dishwasher (and no before you ask I did not get it from a wanted ) But I can’t help laughing at some of the things people ask for or there outright cheek and even some of the stuff that is posted as offered on the sites. We often have a giggle at work about the stuff that is put on.
So thanks for making me laugh, and keep it up
Nikki
