Hi all, my puta's been given the all clear so here's the story (the cliffhanger must have been what caused your insomnia jno;-) Took a shower after arriving home in the evening, dark outside. Had already prepared the washing machine, which is in the bathroom, and pushed the button almost the moment I got out of the shower - BANG, the lights went out. As some kind of vain protection against the work going on outside I have blackout curtains... well not really, they're light but they're closed and add the plastic wrapping and you get a pitch black room, I didn't see a thing even after my eyes had had a chance to get used to the dark. Luckily I remembered where the matches and the candles are - and the ladder. But it was a bit tricky... but anyhoo, there I was up the ladder as Ceiling Cat made me and with my nearsighted face pressed close to the distribution board (could't find my glasses) and then the f*ng fire alarm went off about a foot away from my tinnitus ear. Why? Because of the candle. I found a switch, it may possibly have been the RCCB if that's what you folks call it ? (residual current circuit breaker?) and if so, I suppose I had got the washing machine wet. So, I did my washing by hand and tested the machine again next day (pushed the button with a toothbrush) and no explosion so I suppose it's safe now? Neti? Vinny? You're the electricians around here. Do I have to throw the machine out? Lol jno I really laughed at your naked firemen!! And at your crip weather Robi - is that your lawn or did you find a crip generator;-)
You're so right Shaney, Stockholm is where it's all happening
