Lost Electrical Skills. Rough Justice.

Zoomup
I went to give an estimate today. Fuse board renewal. A holiday chalet. Some family members had stayed, aged early 20s. A rewireable fuse had previously blown on a lighting circuit. The young guests had no idea how to replace the fuse wire even though  a new fuse wire card was there.


 I am feeling very old. I am listening to Bananarama's "Rough Justice," 12 inch version, 1984.

It still sounds good on vinyl.


Fuse wire is dead....long live fuse wire.


Oh, to be young again.

    The mention of Terrapins earlier is a happy coincidence I was talking to some people in the pub and they mentioned about Terrapins the animal. Its some sort of turtle I think anyhow it got me thinking that when I was at infants school  back in the 1870s  we had temporary buildings which I thought were called terrapins but I thought am I mis remembering it?  I didn't say anything cos I didn't want to seem foolish but now you've confirmed it was that I am remembering properly. We were sat in class one day and someone working on the flat roof  must of dropped something heavy cos a bulb shattered and dropped all over the desk  we were ushered outside whilst a cleanup was done.
