Yesterday’s corner time: 6 Minutes.
My corner time pales into insignificance following Aunty Su's arrest for placing false calls to the Fire Service.
After the 117th time, they finally took action.
The breakdown is as follows:
- 3 Calls: Thought she could smell gas.
- 12 Calls: Cat stuck in tree. She doesn’t even own a cat. She doesn’t even own a tree. She borrowed Fluky from our neighbour and was spotted tossing him up into a nearby tree by a passing pedestrian.
- 26 Calls - Locked out of her house.
- 32 Calls – Locked out of her house, only wearing her underwear.
- 43 Calls – Locked out of her house, wearing nothing at all.
- 1 Call – Locked out of her house, stuck up a tree, naked, with a cat and thought she could smell gas.
Both the Firemen and the cat had to seek counselling after that last incident.
Aunty Su’s also been arranging for numerous fire safety assessment visits and now has 253 smoke detectors fitted. Her whole family were hospitalized yesterday with perforated eardrums after she burnt some toast.
It took several calls to the emergency services before they eventually realised that it wasn’t a hoax. It wasn’t helped by the fact that due to their injuries, no one in Aunty Su’s family could actually hear anything and kept shouting down the phone.
The judge has awarded Aunty Su five days community service helping out at the local Fire Station. I’m not convinced that this is much of a deterrent.

Aunty Su has dissproven the saying that crime doesn't pay Matthew, I'm guessing she is in seventh heaven.
I'm guessing she will be happy to do her community service - and some.....

Hi Patty - she's not lonely at all - she just likes firemen!
