Working.
And passing messages between my landlord and housemate.

The wire into our fusebox burnt out last night so we need a spark in to give us more electricity; hopefully it isn't the wire between the meter and the box because that'll then require some bloke from the 'leccy board to come in.

I would be more worried about why it burnt out
That is what fuses and circuit breakers are for. If there is a surge taking out the wiring get the fuck out of the house,.

might not be a surge,
but yes, it does indicate that if it's before the fuse board that there is a serious problem. after the fuse board, it's a faulty breaker. And they are a lot more common than anyone would have you believe.

yeah,out of the house either way I'd say.

Can't be a faulty breaker.
Since they're old and just use wire.

That's not to say that someone might have used the wrong gauge in one of the fuses though. I've only replaced the downstairs lighting loop as one of the lights shorted (which I then removed).
