w to the t to the f?Figuring out whats wrong with electrical systems is my job.. Sometimes tough, sometimes easy... But the all time winner was when I worked as a lowly sparky.. A house in wandsworth had a fuseboard protected by an rcd... Which tripped off at random times in the day and night.. Whole system tested to buggery and back- no fault found. Pulling my hair out after two days of fucking around.. The phone rang. The client ignored her phone as she was too busy doubting my skills and qualifications.. The answer phone kicked in and 'pop' off goes the rcd. Aaah.. Thinks me... Lets try that again.. I phone the house.. 'pop'! I then test the answer phone.. Works fine until the machine clicks on and produces a neutral to earth fault. Turns out she got nuisance phone calls during the day whilst she was at work and came home to no power or lights. There are no words to describe what a bundle of cuntery that was.

I concur..the extra fridge under the stairs/in the garage is always a good one too ...The punter usually says "Oh I forgot about that"
