So I was at the wholesalers this morning and there was a chap trying to buy an earth rod - why you may ask? So he can disconnect the CPC back from his summer house so that the RCD in the main house doesn't trip any more! He claimed a sparky told him to do this!
 
hate to think what they might think in essex, then.

Hahaha...how hard is it to understand how an RCD works!!!

Well, clearly for "joe public" difficult, as for the claim a sparky told him to do this.... anyone's guess..... and whether he will call me to go and sort it .... I'm not holding my breath....... but if he does I'll certainly go and look!
