Dunkield Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Don't be worried, you haven't done anything wrong (have you?)

alexm Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 (edited) don't tell the FAO where the keys are !!!!!, only you should know Agreed. Have the keys ready in your pocket when he comes round so you can open up the cabinet if he asks without showing where you usually hide them. Don't mention where you keep the keys unless he asks, in which case just say "they are hidden in a place only I know about" or "locked in a combination key safe only I have access to" depending on which is true! Good luck! Edited July 14, 2008 by alexm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 don't hide the dog away !! get him out and wind him up to be barking at the feo upon arrival. Best form of securityyou can have. My lab had the feo pinned against the baCK DOOR teeth and fangs ready. he liked that. The feo that is. You are paying for a service from the police force. dont grovell. state what you want and why you want it and dont back down. just be normal whatever that is Good luck and dont be afraid.

MC Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 3PM, that is a bad time to have a visit. He will have plenty of time to question you and to snoop around. The best time is about 4.30 becaused then he will only be interested in getting home for his tea. Don't forget to clean your teeth and wear clean underwear.

Axe Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Its funny you know, you wouldn't think that applying for your ticket could be as bad as taking your driving test. Oh well, there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You're right there Axe, although coming from an island out in the sticks of Essex I have never seen the need to be bothered with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 You're right there Axe, although coming from an island out in the sticks of Essex I have never seen the need to be bothered with either. Quite rightly so, it's like insurance, you only need it if you are going to have an accident, it's pointless otherwise. And my car runs just as well with no tax or MOT.

njc110381 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well done. You'll be lucky to get it in a week but if you do fair play! Mine took three months! Put your safe keys somewhere else. It's your responsibility to keep them safe and if someone breaks in the chances are they will just chuck all your drawers out on the floor. If they find the keys you're right in it, and the chances are the SGC will be gone a lot faster than it arrived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
