Just had a knock at the door

JodieO · 31 Aug 2007 at 22:35

Thought who is that knocking this late and praying the kids don't wake up at the same time. Taxi driver asking if we know where and such a place is. Erm no and why on earth knock on someone's door this late to ask such a stupid question? Buy a map or radio in to ask.

lol, taxi drivers arn't the cleverest people on the block you know

That's presuming it was actually a taxi driver and not someone checking you're not in before burgling you.

Lol I'm just glad I never got a doorbell or proper knocker, that would have woken the kids up.

That is very odd :confused:

Well he was fairly old and the car was running outside, plus Cliff answered the door and he can take care of himself (did martial arts and was good) so I'm not worried on that respect.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me. Did he then go on to knock at other doors?

I don't know actually, Cliff shut the door and I came back onto the laptop. I was hovering at the living room door to see who it was.

was he English, because you've already said hes old, so perhaps it was more common to do that back in the olden days and he has more faith in the english community, also he could have been out of radio range to his hq and as you've said he's old, so doesn't have a mobile etc

Lol true but he was quite old though, I think he was just a taxi driver.

At least they only bothered you and not everyone in the street.

They often just park up in the middle of the road and sound their horn until the fare comes out.

He sounded English. There are a couple of taxi firms in our village and I've never had any of the ones outside of here be out of radio range before, we're not in the middle of nowhere. My grandad has a mobile and he's a pensioner as does Cliff's grandad.

One way of looking at it although he wasn't looking for anyone on this street he was asking for directions. I wouldn't have been too pleased if he'd woken the baby though as he's teething and didn't get to sleep until later than usual as it was poor thing.

Believe me, I know the dread associated with the possibility of the baby waking. Mine is a year old and teething at the moment. Takes her hours to get to sleep and can be set off at the slightest noise.

Cambourne has it's fair share of low life and junkie scum, I wouldn't be opening the door at this time as it is.

Adz · 31 Aug 2007 at 22:51

Surely every taxi driver in the world has sat nav these days?

Awful isn't it? Ethan is 7 and a half months and teething earlier than the other two,.

Haven't seen any of that myself, most of Cambourne is full of families with young chilldren. Are you thinking of the same place as there's also a Cambourn (sp?) in Cornwall. :confused:
