Re: Problem with sockets

["Richard Challis" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an idea, from some of the fantastic stunts I've seen in various
houses....

They are not plugged in to an old double socket (prehaps behind the
drywall), blown the fuse in one of the plugs.

Always get a good feeling when I find twin and earth going to a plug....
Got
one in my current house on the "to sort" list that leads from a
plug in the
cooker socket, out to a better position by the window. :)

Cheers

Richard
