Must Have Been A Man!

[gness]

If I was going to put a fuse box in a garage.....and had the whole of the flipping garage to put it in the last place would be....

....half way down the far side wall that the car has to inch up to so the driver can get out the other side!

And why do some light bulbs blow the fuses...and others just die silently with no fuss?

Little moan over......☺

[shoota]

Have you got lights on because you have bricked all the windows up?

[gness]

I have only bricked up the south facing windows....I'm not a complete nut...

I have the lights on because it's night.........I think......xx

[tonyav]

It's the bulbs that blow that's on the lighting circuit that trips the fuse ie not a table lamp that's plugged into a socket.

Anyhoo did you have to use the car as a slide again ?.

[gness]

Not this time, Tony.....I looked and thought....Oh I can't keep climbing up and sliding down cars....not at my age....and I've been out to dinner so I'm blinged up...

So I opened the garage....got the car out....and climbed the ladder....Why are fuse boxes so high up and in daft places? If it was half way up the end wall off the utility room it would be a matter of seconds to flick it....x

[tonyav]

They usually are in the garage these days, I don't need a ladder ;-)

[gness]

I see...so we cater to the lanky do we?.....No one cares about we small people who have to struggle and stretch!

[tonyav]

Ah but anyone over 5' 3'' is lanky to you ;-)

[gness]

Tony...it's time you remembered....you and I are having a pint or two next month!....☻

[tonyav]

Doh, I'd forgotten.

[gness]

And if you turn up with stilts again.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have four cockers causing mayhem for me tonight.

Excellent shoots

[shoota]

'Tis lovely...

[anneasquith]

I know !!!!!! :-)

[Svejk]

Are you shorter than your car, then?

[Caran]

We don't have a garage so our fuse box is in the kitchen. It is always my table lamp that blows the fuse.

[gness]

Four cockers!....Blimey...think I'll stick with fuses, Shoota.....xx

My last house had the fuse box on the floor of a landing cupboard, Caran.... this is in the daftest place you could put it.....like I say....a man's work...

How's hubby now?...x

Fuse boxes or 'consumer units' to give them the correct name ( they don't have fuses any more) need to be high enough up so that small children can't reach them. But my grandkids have now learned to climb on top of the freezer so that they can turn off the switches in the consumer unit and laugh as grandad rushes around thinking there has been a power failure.

[gness]

So that's the reason, Eddie.....bonkers.....my grandchildren have been taller than me for ever....

Time people thought of us little grandmas!...☺

One way to guarantee a constant supply of 'leccy is to sleep with a policeman...
