    I also first off read it as Mr SA needs a new head, lol
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    I thought of that walk in bath/shower.  Then reality dawned & I realised Mr SA is going to forget to shut the door or open it before the water has dropped low enough.  An accident waiting to happen.

    I wonder just how much use those alarms really are.  The number of times I have heard them go off & the people have just been nodded through without anyone checking if a tag has been left on or something more serious.  I suspect that they go off at random & they just decide oh I don't like the look of this person lets just ruin their reputation just because we can.  Cynic me - never!!
