Love the idea of you...Don't you just love them? Love the idea of your having a check-list!! never thought of that one.<br />My mother's answer to anything electrical that doesn't work is to hit it. Now as chld when we had a valve TV (yes I am that old..) giving it a good clump worked, it sort of re-energised the set and it came back to life. My mother has stuck with the same formula. You see electrical appliances in the shops, cowering to the back of the shelf when she approaches. <br />When the central heating boiler wouldn't work, it got a clump, then another one. In the end my mother could have been arrested for boiler assault. When the engineer came out, he said,"all the internal balance screws have fallen out" - have you banged anything into it?". She stood there, bold as brass, and said " Oh no. But I asked my daughter to have a look at it and you know what these young people are like and went all coquettish!" <br />humpf!Ladygoodwoodhttp:thenorthernexchange.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
