Coincidentally, my wife pointed out to me yesterday that we have a door knocker on our bedroom door. (I don't anything sinister was meant---it was raised as a matter of interest). We've only been living here eleven years so that's why I hadn't noticed it. I mean, I knew there was SOMETHING there but hadn't really looked at it. It's a little brass fishing boat, about an inch in size, and has the words "Looe Smack" engraved on it.  I'm guessing this is a Cornish souvenir and not some bedroom frolic practised by the previous owners.

Are you sure it's not "Love Shack", Roger?  :)

We don't have a door knocker, just a very loud chimey door bell which rings in all the bedrooms and kitchen (intercom). I've always been tempted to add a door knocker, but something slightly sadistic in me rather enjoys it when someone rings the bell at 11am and the kids are still in bed.

I don't think I would like a loud door bell - living where people do - they may decide to ring the bell to try to sell you Girl Guide cookies or a religion or a vacuum cleaner.

Aren't you glad we didn't buy a door knocker.  :)
