*** SHOCKING TRUTH DRILLS AND SUNDAYS ***
-----------------------------------------
On first appearance the average DIY domestic drilling machine
would seem to be good value for money, a labour saving device, an
innocent enough piece of equipment you might think. When viewed
in the DIY new superstore envioronment by the trendy, young
morgaged to the hilt newly weds the machine and Sundays take on a
whole new meaning.......QRN.
Once purchased as soon as spare time permits the unit is put into
immediate service shelves constructed, walls, ceilings, floors,
doors in fact everything in sight it would seem is drilled
relentlessly without remorse. Until I eventually after several
months of constant activity one must assume the whole
accomodation becomes honeycombed or converted into one large
hole.
This is eventually confirmed by the "FOR SALE" notice appearing
outside the property. Like Woodworm the occupants move on to new
pastures with the satisfaction of hearing along with the noise of
the drilling machine, the estate agents remarks "well maintained"
still ringing in their ears.
Propertys like this do not stay empty for long and are generally
soon "snapped up" by mostly retired couples looking for a "hole
in the market". Alterations are quickly made usually with the
Tropical Rainforest materials obtained from the said DIY
Superstore and the drilling cycle generally re-starts within a
few weeks.
This information and the conclusions made above were obtained by
many carefull hours of research mostly on Sunday mornings using
my state of the art high frequency receiving equipment with
directional tuned antennas despite some heavy Qrm from radio
amateurs, many good unsuppressed signals were logged, my best dx
was a drilling rig in Potters Bar. But that was a long while ago.
