Just that really.........my lounge is on the first floor and I sit by balcony doors. I see 3 very pound people approach the very small cul de sac. They appear drunk. Giggling and falling over each other. They were bery loud and Silly, then saw they had lanyards and assumed drunken office do. Then I hear my door bell bong several times so I opened the door and called down. Conversation goes.....

Me..Hello can I help you
Woman..Oh hi we are collecting for British Heart Foundation.
Me..Ummmm sorry but it's a bit late to be calling.
Woman..we can call till gone 9 if we like.
Me..Oh only I have 2 babies and they're now awake as you rang the bell several times.
Woman..I'm not psychic love.
Me..please lease my children are now awake and crying.
Woman..you're gonna allow children to die if you don't sign up.......(she then rang the bell again)
Me..what are you doing..please leave
Woman..ding ding
Me..Just fuck off please
Woman..I'm phoning the police as that's harassment. [confused
Me..umm you're harassing me fuck off
I close the door. They all stand outside and shout abuse and say they're calling police. They stick fingers up. I do too.
They knock on the door several times and then leave their card with a sarcastic rude face.

I’m impressed with the doorbell. I haven’t had to speak to anyone through it yet (typical!). The video is clear even in the dark and we have paid £28 for the year to have the footage stored for 60 days in case we need it.

We’ve got the Ring 2 which is £180 on Amazon but the original one is £100. I’m not sure what the difference is though.
