Thanks fpr all the advice on generators etc.

Certainly not something I would EVER try or do.

I do not understand or trust electricity. Simple.





Power came back last night after 6.0pm……

BUT……

Now my whole downstairs of my house is dead, NO HEATING since Friday (have a power shower upstairs that works) No fridges etc.

So tried removing and refitting every plug downstairs one by one in a process of elimination

Then removed all the plugs, washing machine, drier, radios, side lamps, chargers etc and still it tripped out the mains even before I could start refitting them one by one.

So stopped there. Had a glass of sherry, put more wood on the fire.

Have to try find an electrician once I have gone through a further process of elimination today.

Next step is to remove the downstairs plug circuit breaker, in case that is gone and needs replacing, in which case it could be a simple, affordable job.

But both my lodgers are here, one is an electrician at the power station, one was an appliances type electrician 25 years ago, and we will try figure this out in the mean time.

Surely it can be fixed……..
