Open it up and find out, innit?

Are you the fella who removed the backing plate holding your cast iron cistern up ?

If so - PUT THE SCREWDRIVER DOWN, MOVE AWAY FROM THE SCREWDRIVER.

a ringer for phone / alarm or something

whats inside the casing - trace the wires back is it dead or alive

I agree with cozz

Door bell ringer, or phone ringer.

It's probably a portal to another world. One of the old ones, though; the new ones are wireless.

Yes. Hence the question before I do this.

This is also the bloke who called his own son a 'knob' for wanting a cheese sandwich from Santa, you know? 😕

Is it a sonic bomb? Part of an intruder alarm system, goes "waaah" in a big loud voice if the alarm is tripped, the idea being that it's painful enough that a burglar will want to get out as quickly as possible.

bell ringer innit.

Do you know for sure or is that just a hunch?

It's where the Borrowers live so leave them alone! 😈

couger is correct its a sonic bomb for an alarm

PUT THE SCREWDRIVER DOWN, MOVE AWAY FROM THE SCREWDRIVER

Sorry double post 😳

UPVC birdhouse.

Can only think that it's an alarm/phone extension speaker or sound bomb.

Spy cam on you....

Have you tried putting your tongue in there yet?

Or another appendage?

He is. For example, at the moment he will only address his sister as "Mrs Chimbong".

Seems reasonable.

A ham sandwich maybe, but cheese?

He calls himself "Mr Gam-Gam".

I blame the parents, personally. 😕

Cut the wiores and conect to a 12 volt battery, and then crap yourself at the noise.

you bunch of proles.

Anyone with any breeding would know that it's a butler's bell. For calling your gentleman's gentleman to attend to your cocktail requirements.

This appalling lack of knowledge about household etiquette is why Downton Abbey got treated as a drama, not the documentary it should have been! 🙄

An electric butler's bell? My, you are moving with the times.
How do you find these new fangled contraptions? Personally I much prefer the gentle tinkle of the wires and 'proper' bell system. although of course when I am further away from the servant's quarters it is something of a moot (mute? gettit?) point.

It is above the "Kit Room".

If I set it off will one of the maids come and attend to my helmet?
