This Morning I thought Saturday great and chance to relax and play catchup, do things like clean my car.:)

Guess what 10 minutes later I was brushing my teeth when the phone rang. Mrs Ha answered. Get up to the Hall she shouted up to the bathroom, Freddie (that’s on of her Ladyships terriers) is being electrocuted.:eek:
I was down stair in 1, in my boots in 2 across the courtyard in 3, it was persist in it down and I thought Oh Great I’m running to deal with live electrics and I’m soaking. Remembering my training, Isolate, Insolate, Evacuate. I jumped over the 4 foot gate in straight in through the hall door.

Now in the Hall we have 5 separate fuse boxes. One main one and one per floor and wing.

I made straight for the main one with the intention of cutting all the power, but the panel is behind a forest of Brooms, brushes and mops. Fighting through I discovered that the chap that came last week to fit a smart meter had locked the panel shut.:mad:

I’ll have to do this the hard way I though. Lady Hooray was shouting that the cable was still attached to his leg and had fused to his skin. Where is he I asked, Under the table said she, By this point I was getting exited as well.

Which Effing Table I said, only because in the hall there are 3 console tables, a games table and 2 marble tables, In the sitting room is the dining table and the French table and in the kitchen is the breakfast table.

Sitting room she said, I found him under a chair a cable complete with plug attached to his leg. It turned out he had stood in a loop of cable to one of the side table lamps and it had pulled round his back leg like a noose and locked. Now Ferdie is a nasty little booger at times, on Thursday he bit a carpet fitter that was working in the Hall, luckily he only got the chaps knee pad and the bloke say the funny side of things (after a £20.00 tip).

As he couldn’t get loose he had bit right through the cable, luckily for all concerned the safety breaker had gone off straight away because Lady Hooray had grabbed hold of him and lifted him straight up, This had the effect of ripping the plug out of the socket.
If the safety breaker hadn’t worked We could have been looking at a different outcome.:A

Now the cable was so tightly wrapped around his back leg he wouldn't let me near him, Luckily Mrs H had arrived on the scene and got a roll of bandage from the first aid kit, with Mrs H holding his jaws bandaged shut I was able to undo the flex without getting bitten.:eek:

Now I have to rewire £350 of table lamp on Monday morning, you will be careful not to chip it will you as it came from Harrods.

Sometimes don’t you just wonder why you bother.
Regards, Handy.
