This is only for those who think the mains can make a difference...

Darwin Award for them, then.

Hardly, given the age demographic of this place.

Yes, I was thinking that that ship had probably sailed.

Has this thread drifted into very dangerous territory? Someone could get killed pissing about with mains.

Yes it could if you don't know what you are doing. I had a qualified electrician to do the install.

I think p1$$ing on electrical sockets is a really bad idea, coz it results in a sound of fizzing from the socket, followed by a large “phutt” and all the ring mains shutting down. At least, that’s what happened when Zebedee (our Burmese cat) hit the conservatory socket with a perfectly directed stream of Sauvignon Blanc!

As well as 'fizz' and 'phutt', I'm surprised you didn't experience a whine with Sauvignon Blanc. What's your moggie doing drinking plonk, then?. Anything like that accident would immediately trip the RCD I'd've thought.

now I come to think about it, the socket was in the old conservatory. In those days the consumer unit had fuses only - pre-RCD days - which is why it fizzed for some seconds before it went phutt.
