I read that as fast as you typed it and now I need a coffee...
 
Buzz, that was the clearest, most concise post i have read from you, and the pic was a perfect example, making it abundantly clear what had happened.
I never thought i would ever write such a sentence...
However, my friend, I think your talents are wasted on here...you should have your own TV show!
"Buzz explains to idiots how electricity works."

I just hope you can find a solution to those pesky rodents...tell the customer to keep using washer and dishwasher then they will drown the bast*rds!
I just love these real-life domestic problems, so thank you for sharing it, Buzz!
 
Thanks pirate you have hit the nail in the head , i might start a tv programe called buzzavision showing customers how to blow them seleves up and half the time you will always get a idiot that mess with the elecricty and we go in to sort it out .
