Alarming Stories


Book Description

A series of short stories detailing the highs and lows of an apprentice in the late 1970's 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 teenage years. 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 service and repair security systems in all weathers and at all times of the day, I felt an affinity with him and often visited similar remote locations all over Yorkshire at all times and in all weathers. 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, a wholly different career to that of a vet, the access granted to me during my career has provided many amusing, dangerous, funny and even sexy situations not granted to most.
