Ye Ha Ride um Cowboy

Interesting one from the newsgroup

Question from Harry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oOo~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hello!

have just installed a electric shower which works fine but fuse in fuse box blows if wife puts tumble dryer on at the same time.

have I bought a faulty shower or has the tumble dryer suddenly gone wrong (big coincidence, queue twighlight zone music)?

thanks

Harry

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oOo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Neither, you've wired it up wrong. The shower should be on its own circuit.

hello. the tumble dryer is plugged into a socket.

the shower was wired in by my friend martin because he knows about electrics. all I can say is that the cable goes through the bathroom wall, round the skirting board in the bedroom and into a socket.

ill ask martin tonight weather the shower is on the ring main feeding the socket.

Your friend Martin knows f*ck all about electrics and should be shot.

I wouldn't bother, get an electrician in to do the job properly, your friend Martin is a danger to anyone around him.

Sorry didn't mean to post this. So amused by it I meant to send it as an email to a friend but posted it by mistake.
