You probably aren't even allowed to throw Double Happys at the girls anymore.

We asked a sparks to come and replace a porch light and add a motion sensor. Two minutes after he'd started - he took the cover plate off the wall switch that controls the existing light, and took down the existing rose - that was it. He had to stop, as that wiring evidently dated from when the house was built (1930's), or not that much later. So it's a rescheduled visit, floor boards up, and some rewiring. We're gonna get the hall lights revamped at the same time - and install repro bakelite switches too.

He is not the guy who collects old microwave ovens and blows them up for his video camera and then uploads the results to the net is he?
I've not seen it but apparently a bear bottle full of beer makes a tremendous mess.

Thus spake harry ( snipped-for-privacy@aol.com) unto the assembled multitudes:
A chav family up the road from me set some off on Christmas night a few years ago. So much for 'Silent night, holy night'. :-(

Thus spake John ( snipped-for-privacy@ntlworld.com) unto the assembled multitudes:
Not necessarily so. I wrote to the local press about it at the time (it was a letter about the widespread uncontrolled use of fireworks in general but I mentioned the Christmas incident as one example), and there have been no Christmas fireworks since. Of course, the chav family may have since moved elsewhere, but at least Christmas night returned to its normal peaceful state in my locality.
