Tel are you taking stronger medication this week or something? You've been doing a lot of one liners this week.

 

[telectrix]

it's coz. i ain't got much work on at the moment. have to keep the brain active. same medication as usual, real ale.

Thanks for that chaps - (especially Telectrix) most informative. Suggests to me that someone forgot to wire up the main 100mA RCD for the outdoor supply or the mains supply cables weren't buried deep enough. We'll see from the report in good time.
