Great album that: "Cement Mixer Unplugged"
I think it was recorded live in Bath.

Did you have the right type of ballast in the mixer ?

 

[ricicle]

Wasn't it a petrol driven mixer anyway ?

 

[Alarm]

Could be you had sharp sand hence the shock.

Do you know a little bit about electrics. I mean; did you rest it on a towel for safety?

 

[bernardgreen]

I know some people are flippant about these matters but please take care in with the mixer. After all you could become in mortarlised in the bath.

I am so slow......wind turbines.......

I can see the problem now........

the mixer was running on Greene electricity.....

It's those lemon scented bath salts you're using.

You should have used lime.

Have you got supplementary bonding?


To avoid using an extension lead which is dangerous and may cause tripping could I put a socket outlet in the bath?
I would label the plugs.

Before anyone says I'm stupid - obviously it would have to be a waterproof one.

IP yippie aye aye?

Maybe, but them spark plugs use High Voltage, and are not RCD protected!

Kind Regards, John.
