At least it's interesting Savvy. Way more interesting than DS2 latest obsession.......which is reporting every single pothole he sees to the council
He's discovered our councils website for reporting road problems. Whenever he's out and about on foot or in the car and he comes across a pothole it is logged and reported. We did a fair bit of trekking this morning and he had 16 to report. I've even been asked to revisit a certain street tomorrow as he's not sure how many there were.

Well, there you are - and you've even admitted it yourself!:D It's a "problem" and, therefore, something to be sorted out - which is precisely what he is doing.:):):D:rotfl:

Don't get into it - the autistic person will pick you up over a single word;).

The back up battery failing does cause problems like that - we got a wee man who knew about alarms and came and replaced the battery for £25 - you could probs do it yourself if you knew model number etc and bought direct. Our alarm was 10 years old at the time and the battery was so old it was bulging and warped. Interesting thing was - when he was out he told us to change the alarm code because if we didn't we would cause probs on the panel using the same buttons all the time. So for example if currently using code 1234 change it to 5678 to double the life of the panel :money::money:

You can also see which 4 buttons have been constantly pressed by the wear and dirt on them.

Obsession now (my own replying) I think. He needs to make sure that he is right:D. He must be absolutely 100% right and it is essential to him - as it is essential to me (although I have learned sometimes - though it took me over 40 years:rotfl: - to just be satisfied with a best job and leave it at that as I'm not always able in practice to make sure everything is completely right - my inclination however, and my natural state, is always inclined to get things totally right).

Maybe I need to go back to M later just to check I was right:rotfl:. "Well (throws up hands) there's nothing I can do as the rest of the range, if there is any, is stored in some M other than any I can get to and it's now closing time, so, that's the best I can do and I will have to leave it at that!:cool:"

And with only 4 numbers, there is only (I think) 12 different combinations, so would not take someone long to work through them.

This has been a very recent thing that I only realised fully yesterday he was actually officially reporting. I've yet to look at the website to see what the set up is and if it's an anonymous thing or not.
I was thrown off tonight by it being haircut night.

When I worked in the civil service we had people who were prolific at voicing their annoyance at one thing or another by various means. They were called persistent correspondents. If Lancashire county council are listening......I'm sorry :rotfl:

Think there are thousands Dave

I actually have a love/sometimes nearly hate (as hate is a very strong word I never use;)) relationship with the M list as sometimes I get almost (and that's the key word, almost, in other words I do not) fed up with the list - as it's just "too much" (although it never is - if that makes much sense). There's a lot to update and I'm fed up of it:rotfl:. Although I'm not really, as, somehow, I still end up doing it all.:cool::rotfl: I think I actually like all the long-windedness in trying to do it all. In a strange way. It's long-winded, it's cumbersome, it takes time (actually not too much time from my perspective - I did have that bad one last November but, since then, not too bad) but actually sorting out all the anomalies in SELs, whilst I sometimes 'throw my hands up' (nearly, in other words not, in despair) somehow I must like trying to resolve it all.

Think again young lady

(You have say a 1234 with wear, therefore only possible combinations are:
1234
1423
1432
2134
...etc) Think its 12 different ones. )
