What in the bloody hell..

Evening all.

Anyone know what the above item is? Customer wants standard double sockets changing to these.

It's a pull cord to start up the power in the adjacent outlet.

Yes I have problems explaining to the Chinese students when doing EICR, that the power is going off, trouble is when someone doesn't speak good English, we tend to assume they're are deaf! So then say louder POWER....IS...GOING...OFF!!

You think that's difficult. Called in to a problem with the kitchen extract system at Michael Wan's restaurant in Blackpool on opening day.....total panic, Chinese running around, yelling all over the place. Really had the fat fwying.

when dealing with foreign customers with a basic grasp if any of English I bring out the alien technology that Google must have acquired from area 51 and the aliens. Its known as Google translate or as Dr Who would know it as the universal translator.... you can type or say what you want in English and as if by magic it can come out in a language of your choice.... they can even talk or type back on your phone and it will translate back to English. Problem solved.

[Strima]

I'd like to see what it's like after a heavy load on it with it still coiled up...

 

[Marvo]

Easy way out, check if it's got the british standard approval mark on it. If not, end of discussion.
