Did the message go something like this.
"Dim, please let us back into the house dear, we think that it is very unfair that you still have not left home at the age of 48. We have retired now and we really want to move on with our lives and we want you to as well. You don't have squatters rights and we really don't want to ring your little sister to come and pound on you again like she did last week. And yes she is our favourite, for obvious reasons. Now call us back, you know our number we are your parents and apparently there is nothing we can do about that under British or European Law"
....beepFaster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
