Trying to not become known as the local curtain twitching nutter. Maybe she does this every year or two? Argh.
To become the local curtain twitching nutter (CTN) you need to be calling in repeatedly, probably for multiple neighbours. A real CTN calls 000 weekly as a minimum, but if you are properly commited to it requires multiple calls a day.

I'm not a CTN. I prefer going outside with my binoculars and a step ladder.
