We are at work, walking through what we would do if disaster struck. So here in rainy London, we pretend that the power is out and what we do next. Really how hard is this? Not much since you can't work, can't go home (no trains), so all you can do is go to your favourite pub and have some real ale.
This had us talking, as usual, down the pub. Siddie was recently replacing a light fitting. Presumably the one already in place had been there since the house was built, and consequently the new one was slightly different. Siddie is a clever chap, with all his techno speak and clever gadgetry, but this gave him a problem. How to rewire a ceiling rose. So we go, from work Tom-foolery with electrics to Siddie's dilemma. Once started, he realised he hadn't noted where all the wires had come from. To help I draw a diagram, power - lightbulb - switch. Not hard. But Siddie is determined this is difficult. So he brings up a picture of his old ceiling rose, then draws a picture of the new one. So here we have it. No matter what you know about Z O/S, TWS, and such techy abbreviations, what he failed to realise is they are exactly the same, just with the connectors in slightly different places. Now how hard is that?
This all took place over a nutty, slightly watery (in the respect of a porter) beer. It had a good, hop flavour and yes I like it. I'll mark this 4.3% Cottage Brewing, AF Grand Prix as a 6 out of 10.
