I would just like to say JAk - it was not me accidently cutting your phone line. Today has passed with out mishap in my domains. I have not cut any power cables, pipes or anything else for that matter. Did a perfect job of cutting the wall paper back for new sockets and patching plaster and all went back like new. Tickety Boo as we say in here. Am back at house I had disaster in tomorow to install earth bonding to mains water pipe and oil feed from storage tank - oh what fun and will require some crawling around a dark loft which I have discovered is invested with mice.
