Banhams

Anyone use for their burglar alarm?  They used to be so good but recently have become a total shower including telling me they were coming on Monday despite it being a bank holiday then turning up this morning despite being booked to come in two weeks' time.

Anyone know a good company that can monitor and maintain a Banhams alarm that isn't Banhams?

My mate Dave (not his real name). Down the dog & duck, by the pool table. Just give him the code and when you're not going to be in. He will call at a time that suits. 

My neighbour has one of those famous white Banham alarm boxes on his house.

He tells me its a deterent mainly, rarely turned on. He's an electrician and some of the places he visits its just an empty box.

Get a big dog.

Get a beware of the dog sign. 

And then go posting on message boards about how big it is. 

Just beware of someone then trying to scam you by selling dog biscuits for charity. 

I've got two fake boxes too including a very prominent one next to the road but sadly my insurer won't accept fake burglar alarms and dogs.  The only other real alternative is a massive artwork sale.

You can use other people just prefer to trust someone recommended with my security rather than say Jelly's mate Dave who may also have a few burglary convictions that he keeps quiet.
