had a last minute call out to a shop today. all electrics dead, checked db first, found a fried mouse between bus bars.

no power coming into the db, checked on the meter, nothing, checked incomer fuses (100a) they good, no power going to the fuses. advised them to call to DNO.

they said there was some burning smell from suspended ceiling before (theres lots of fluorescent lights in it)
install is a proper proper cowboy mess, did not want to bother sorting it out and walked off , just wondering what happened, fault on the lights should knock mcb off, short circuit by mouse should blow incomer fuse?

Three burned mice / Three phases dead .............. sounds like a nursery rhyme to me.
Put this tune on and sing along: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QuyV-WwrE

three burned mice,
three phases dead,
see how they smoke.
see how they smoke.
They all ran after the heat of the lamps
Their heads burnt off with six thousand amps
Did you ever see such a sorrowful sight?
As three burned mice.

(wayyyy too much time on my hands!)
 
I was going to say that Wooney is a Neanderthal, but that would be insulting Neanderthals.
He'd still be a virgin if he didn't earn half a million pounds a week. ----er!
Heard the other day that us Humans are about 5% Neanderthal, someone's been having inter species sex in the past!
Isn't that how humans got AIDS?!
