    And so the Saga ends, looking forward to Season 2 ;)
  • OMG i have just had to compose myself, in absolute fits of laughter, tears rolling down my eyes and now my tummy and head hurts.

    I know this is supposed to be serious but wanty you are fab! We will have to sort you out with your very own helpline of Electric Shocks Anonomous - find you some help with how to beat the addiction.

    Ok more seriously - please dont keep touching it - Hugo's last post is a bit worrying - i dont want it to get worse due to your experiments. Your fabulousness needs to continue on MSE.

    wanty i have not been on here for a few days and I cant believe you havent got this sorted yet,
    You are playing with fire mate.
    Instead of coming on here having the craic contact the council and get your wiring checked .
  • This is par for the course mate, perhaps the situation was not as bad as 1st reported a little drama injected.

    I made him strip down to bare feet like me.

    It seems it was a fault with the kitchen light directly below, I don't get a shock when it is switched off, but it was us that figured this out. Took me ages to find someone, managed to get a lackey, who found the gaffer, who agrees with us. No sparky about though :rolleyes: Only one sparky on a 70 house job.

    I love the idea of emailing the council :rotfl: although, to be fair, its actually a subcontractor doing all the work. A rather well know company according to their website.

    Oh and I smell nice now :D

    If you think the kitchen light is the problem you will have to get it sorted as you may forget one day & leave it on. It is the council you should be dealing with . It is them you pay the rent to & not the sub contractors.Don`t take no bull !!!!.
    Thanks for the laugh by the way.

    We had an emergancy sparky out this morning, and he agreed, it was the kitchen light (the wires for it are litterly where you stand to get in the bath) dunno what he has done (I let OH deal with the workmen, they have the ability to make me feel like a schoolgirl)

    But the bath works now, with and without the light on.

    I think I might touch the taps just to make sure though ;) :rotfl:

    Absolutely great, you finally got it sorted out, i recon the sparks took a fixing screw out from the bath mounting bracket.
    A great Thread with a happy ending.
