Ericmark, thank you for that explanation. Was the adaptor fitted to the appliances readily available for other purposes or did it appear as a way for people to get cheaper electricity?

I was telling my mum that I had arranged to have the electrics tested. This led to her telling me it was common to only have one light and one socket per room in her day.

Touche Mr Sheds :)

Can someone clarify for me if this is the same Mr Sheds who posted a picture of an attractive young lady peeing. I bet he done a bit of DIY when he came across that pic. :lol:

Oh you silver tongued devil. :lol:

Yes you can Mr Sheds. If this is the start of some strange mating ritual on your part perhaps I should warn you, I'm a straight batting sort of chap. :lol:

Sean Did the sucking of teeth occur after a visual inspection or after testing?

He could have had the decency to give me a free sample. I'm stripping off varnish from a handrail and bannister and it's murder. :lol:

big-all Just had a root about and found he is banned on another site. :lol:
