Phone call tonight from an old customer i rewired her house about 10 years ago:-
Her, a light bulb blew and now i have no lights upstairs.
Me, Yes you will need to flip up the trip in your fuse box.
Her, i remember you telling me about that, what am i supposed to do?
Me, go to the fuse box and flip up the trip, i will wait while you do it.
Her, where is the fuse box?
Me, next to the meter.
Her, OK 3 mins later, someone has covered it up.
Me, what do you mean?
Her, there is a clear plastic thing in front of the trips.
Me, yes, just lift it up, it will either hinge down or up.
Her, OK i will check
Her, 3 mins later, no still can't lift it but my hands are wet, should i use a screwdriver to force it?
Me, no wait until your hands are dry and try again.
Her, OK if you don't hear from me iv'e sorted it.
