well he finally turned up 3/4 hour late, had a look and said "there's a nail through the wire" then got out hammer and bolster to chop out conduit (flimsy oval not real conduit) to "repair" wire, I pointed out (1) my young daughter was asleep 10 feet away (2) easy job to pull the nail out,pull in new switch line as only 1 board to lift, no carpet to worry about, trap already cut and screwed - can't do that without job order ffs! quicker and easier than chopping out and "repairing" existing so I suggested pulling sw line from rose so other lights could go back on and come back another day to complete - hallelujah we have a winner so at least it's safe now and most lights working but has taken from about 4.30 till now to get it sorted bang out of order really wonder how long til they come back and sort it - wish I'd just done the job as a favour but on crutches at the mo so can't reach lights grr but at least get plenty of quality drugs for free!!
Honestly, if I was the council appointed spark, you would irritate the **** out of me suggesting what I should do. Id be thinking************

apologies in advance to mods if this is out of order

meggerman - who the ************do you think you are calling me a ************ on crutches wannabe spark but cant". you don't know me or my situation, (1) I'm not a sponger I still work for a living even on crutches , (2) been a fully qualified apprentice trained spark for over 25 years not a Electrical Trainee , (3) the guy was a bit out of his depth and going to chop out wall, cut away conduit and tape up the cable - do you consider that acceptable ? and he asked for advice from me which I was happy to give in a non condescending way - it's called professional courtesy, google it if you don't understand and (4) if you said that to my face even on crutches ************
