Thanks Martle - I'll get a proper electrician (not Buffalo Bill thanks Andy) to install these:



Lovely aren't they!
It does cause me to wonder, what kind of garden decorations do you have... Embarrassed

Dear Sirs,

Please accept this order for half a dozen chandeliers with matching frogs and a gross of illuminated garden frogs.  I enclose a cheque for the sum of 24 guineas and I express my hope for the speedy disptach of these urgently required items.

The Shocking  Shocked Truth: A nearby socket wasn't properly earthed.  Roll Eyes  A case of "I'm not paying an electician to do a job I can do perfectly well myself"... I'm pretty Angry but relieved that at least no one was actually hurt.

That's what the electrician told you eh?  Grin

Charged you 50 quid for a 10 min job?

Has he been on Bodge the Builder on Channel 4?   Tongue

Heh heh. Mabel, the main think is it is sorted, we hope.

You might still get those e-static shocks if you roll on the carpet in your dressing gown and then touch the tap  Shocked

Er, no. The DIYer admitted his mistake having checked the socket once he took our complaints seriously...

Grin I misread that as "...roll up in the carpet..." Cleopatra style!

Do you remember as a child rubbing a balloon in your tummy then sticking it on the wall?
And why are those little bits of white polystyrene so static? You can't shake them off your fingers.

Anyone else love these Frog and Toad stories by Arnold Lobel?

Night night,

Yes, static can be fun AND a nuisance, especially on some vinyl LPs. I have one of those 4" wide brushes and the yellow cloths, all part of the fun of playing vinyl Smiley
