Post or mail 'nobody in' when you are in!

In London, UK, I have a neighbour who has a loose gravel drive. The gravel makes a mess everywhere. You sink into it. 

I asked her, "Have you ever considered having a solid drive? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of loose gravel?"

She replied, "I know it makes a mess. But I can hear anybody walking up to the house or driving in. That makes me feel safer."

If you are indoors and expecting a delivery, in a safe neighbourhood, but afraid you might not hear the knock, what can you do?  You can leave the door ajar, on the latch, a kind of u shape catch which stops anybody pushing the door, but enables you to hear them, and see them if you stand nearby.

Add a sign please knock loudly or shout. Or have your office in the front any window overlooking the drive.   Work or watch tv on a laptop and as soon as a car or van stops outside, you dash out to meet them.
