DOES anybody take any notice when a car alarm goes off ?

No.

Or when a house alarm goes off ?

No.

So, what is the point of them?

Half the time the owners of these alarms are not at home to hear them.

But one frustrating noise worse them all, is the town centre Big Ben that makes a racket every 15 minutes, 24 hours per day.

I live about a mile away from it, have trouble sleeping.

God only knows what I’d be like if I lived closer.
