Hello everyone! 
I am Happysteve Junior and I am three and a half. This is me reading the on site guide because the big green book is really BORING cos there are no proper pictures.
Happysteve is my dad, he is training to be an eletrician. Every Monday he goes to "sparky school."
I don't want to be an eletrician. I like pipes. When I am 25 I want to be a plumber. I told this to my Mum and she laughed. I told this to my dad and he looked very sad and said some funny words.
Sometimes a nice man called Paul lets my dad be an eletrician. He makes him very dusty, but its ok because he is always very smiley when he comes home. Yesterday he brought home a box of toys for me to play with, and I know they are mine even though Dad says "that wasn't really the intentshun".
The toys are brill because there are little pipes, and circles and things:
Then I realised you could fit them all together!
I asked Dad if I could put water in them but he looked sad, and said I had to put wires in them instead. So we found some blue wire and some green and yellow wire and I told my Dad where I wanted them to go and we pulled them through together:
He is very pleased with this and says I will make a good eletrician but I am worried about running a single wire through galv fittings and causing heating through eddy currents and shouldn't there be a brown wire? And he says it is called "conduit" if it has wires through it, and pipe if it has water through it, but why can't it have both?
