This story happened in a small village called Froggatt. I was with my old workmate Paul and we pulled up outside this stately looking house with a long drive surrounded by oak trees. We drove up to the door, got out of the van and proceeded to knock upon the large oak door.
After a few moments the door began to slowly open with a sound that resembled something you would expect to hear in a dracular movie.
The door opened just a few inches and the head of a little old lady emerged uttering the words "Have you come to kill me?" I was slightly dumbfounded at this question, but Paul answered in a nonchalant manner    "No we've come to mend your television set."       "Oh that's alright then come in."    came the immediate reply and the door was opened to it's utmost.
After we'd been standing in the hall for about ten minutes wondering where she'd gone, she suddenly re-emerged and uttered the words   "Who are you?"    "We've come to mend your television"   "Oh right"   long pause "Well, where is it then"    Paul asked   "Oh I don't know, you'll have to find it".
Two or three rooms later we found the tv in a room which was like a cross between a music room and a study. Paul knelt down behind the tv, removed the back and proceeded to fault-find.
After a few minutes the old lady entered the room, sat herself down at the upright piano and proceeded to play a game of 'Name that Tune'. She played and sang several, what sounded like war songs one after another, between each one uttering the words    "What's this one then" None of which we knew from Adam, but she knew them all, word for word what key it was in and everything.
Suddenly amongst the string of 'un heard of' songs came the sound of 'The National Anthem' at which point Paul and myself in unison cried "ah..We know this one!"     "Well I don't know what it is...but I know it's very old" came the reply.
After a few more bizarre occurrences another woman entered the scene.
"I see you've met my sister then" she said "sorry about that, only she's not been very well and I did intend to be here when you arrived, I just nipped to the shop"
We went away feeling very strange about the whole situation.
