Alarming Stories
During my apprenticeship I witnessed many interesting situations. The following tales give an understanding of early intruder alarm systems, which were surprisingly crude in their operation. It also provides an insight into many rude, funny and sometimes downright dangerous situations I encountered during my formative years.
Alarming Stories
The published works of a famous Yorkshire vet published in 1970 and televised in 1978 had a lifelong influence on me.
Driving through Yorkshire to install, service and repair security systems, I felt an affinity with him and often visited similar remote locations all over Yorkshire in all weathers to cover emergencies as and when customers required.
Alarming Stories
I have often mused if it would be possible to write a similar fact based story about my own unique experiences within the intruder alarm industry, the unrestricted access to customers premises granted to me during my career has provided many amusing, dangerous, funny and even sexy situations not granted to most.
Tales of an apprentice intruder alarm engineer is the first book in my series and covers the period 1976 to 1980.
