My aunt lived in Chandlers Ford when we lived in Alton so I know the sort of homes over there. Uncle was a lecturer in psychology at Southampton. I bet roads are mad these days.

Mercifully I work from home mostly these days - the last job was 100% remote, this new one I have to commute to Farnborough between once and twice a fortnight but I can live with that. There's a new relief road around Bordon which has improved things on my route but yeah, some spots are pretty bad.

I've ordered one of those testers that Richard Higgins linked to - I figured at least having a means of interrogating the sockets for the basic stuff would be useful.

Many thanks for your help on this Paul, that all gives me much food for discussion with the sparky.

My old stamping ground, best friend was son of a farmer near Bordon.

Most of my friends lived on farms and my first job at 16 was farm hand, which means you go to skinny whimp to muscles popping out all over in two weeks at 16. It was all 40 hours a week of pure manual heavy work. I got home and fell straight asleep in a dining chair trying to stay awake! First experience of hard graft. My work mate I had to keep up with was ex para! He was hard act to follow!
