Barking Mad or Maybe Not?

One of my colleagues (I call her Fifi in that many people can be categorised into dog breeds - you get my drift) was complaining recently that she was running out of room on her belt to clip entry cards etc. The reason I later found out was that she has a bag alarm which attaches to her belt and sits inside her purse. If the two come apart a resounding 140 decibals screams out at you.

Now Fifi one lunchtime goes to the only exclusive department store we have in town to spend and does she spend!!!!! This day, she went to pay for an item and accidentally forgot to turn off the alarm - you guessed it the sucker went off!!!!! Maybe the alarm was a gift from her husband - not as a mugger deterrant but as a shopping deterrant - hmmmm maybe not. The thing is Fifi is going quietly deaf and we all may laugh at this but seriously this alarm is going to set off a lot. Come to think of it, this may be the cause of her deafness.

We all have no idea why she insists on this little device, we live in a fairly safe city - I mean it's not Liverpool or Rio and Fifi usually walks around with a crocodile leather bag and that thing is enough to seriously concuss the best mugger. I intend on having a bit of fun with this in the future!!!!
