So..................................After all the posts, I am proved right! God, it's good to get one over on the master pi*s taker! Won't be long before you get me back though ferg!! Unfortunately!:(
I am Olllllllllllld and we didn't use a black earth wire in 1900 and frozen to death! so it was probably a DIY install!
