You reach the grand age of 86 and then this happens very sad and just proves the point you never know what’s around the corner.
Only just last month 2x old folk were killed there to. A lassie in a car stop on the main road and waved them to cross, car behind though she was stopping, and indicated to pull around her, I’m sure you can figure out the rest.

I agree. I check this every morning and quite a few of our units have defective buzzers. Probably haven’t worked for ages and no one reports it.
