Hells Bells. by ladymagpie

Hells Bells.

Most people have door knockers or door bells on there homes but how many of you have one of these. Well this is my back door bell and comes with a history.

For the last few years of my employment I worked for an electrical testing company as their Office Manager. One of the things I had to do was try and get new customers by phone. I had watched a programme on television that showed a sales company, and every time they got a new customer you pressed a bell button on the wall to announce your success.

I had asked my Boss why I didn't have a button to push that rang a bell. The next day I came in to find he had put this alarm bell on my office wall, not quite what I was meaning but it brought a smile to many faces.

When I retired a few years later a couple of the electricians came to my house and presented me with the bell which they then fixed in place by my back door, happy memories, but I do have an electric bell as well.
How special!!! What a great memory! Fabulous bell too!
