From 'laid back' to 'paranoid'....

Post by kellys_eye »

.... in three minutes flat.

Just fit one of those 'energy monitoring' devices the 'lecky companies are giving away now and again.

FFS - I'm practically sat watching the figures roll ever upwards :? . I actually KNOW about these things (energy consumption etc) but when you see the numbers and then realise we're all tight-fisted s0ds deep down anyway you understand why paranoia runs so close to the surface these days.... :roll:

Blimey......
Don't take it personally......

I bought one to keep the wife quiet, (wedged in her mouth with some duct tape applied on top worked best). :mrgreen:

I'm pleased to say that when I changed the batteries a while back I couldn't make it work properly again.

It now resides unloved in the bottom of a drawer somewhere.
One day it will all be firewood.

:lol: :lol:

A limosine pulls up at our door and a guy in a sharp suit was let out by the chauffeur and knocked on my door.

"Have I won the pools?" I asked....

"no, I'm here to read your meter" he said......... :cb

Very good. (Not heard that one before)
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
