Or the same couple in the same hotel I mentioned earlier who appeared at 1am in the morning in the restaurant for breakfast.  The fire alarm had gone off and they'd thought it was their morning alarm. They'd got up and were fully showered and dressed for the day.

(I was never brave enough to confess that it was me who'd set off that alarm, when I burnt the toast I was trying to snack on after finishing a late shift!)

I love it!
I set off the fire alarm once in a Genealogy Research location! I pressed the Fire button instead of the Open-door button.
I half-felt it was partly their fault - having the two buttons - both white - beside each other.

Okay not FH,but some bright spark fitted the fire alarm button right by the exit on ours and the next door ward.The exit switch ( we have sensor controlled doors for security reasons) is a little further back. So there were a couple of occasions when we first opened the fire alarm was activated.Large notices have now been put up

  I like that...When I first started Family research on OH's line...I asked my MIL about inherited traits regarding facial features, colouring and so on as there were quite a few old photos.

 She then told me that... "My cousin suffered from that "Croner's Disease you know...it's inheditary...'Cos her Mother had it"

I must write these gems down

and while I'm doing the whole confessional bit......................

when visiting my elderly  Mother-in-law a few years ago I pulled what I thought was the light-switch cord in the bathroom, and it was the emergency alarm.  5 seconds later the red flashing light was ablaze in her living room, and the person shouting down the intercom from the control centre checking if she was Ok and needed assistance could probably have been heard 3 streets away 

People in glass houses and all that..............

probably the same couple who commented to me just before landing at LHR - " ..... a strange place to build Windsor Castle - right on the flightpath of an International airport" .....

that couple must get about, not complaining this time though, they were delighted the castle was built beside the main road for a change. Bunratty Castle finished 1425.

I wonder if it was their daughter who, in 2008-ish when my own daughter was touring the southern USA, ... asked her whether we in Australia had the same moon, and did she think she'd be voting for Obama in the next election.
