seven indents is too much for me....


Except that it's not (see my posts alluding to burnt sockets).......

Also, do not be tempted to plug in a 'kettle lead' with the mains end
already plgged in - I've done that many times in the past, but had a
little 'pop and flutter', once or twice recently.....


Well, yep - it's a bit tricky having being told there's no danger of
damage, but I'll stick to my old habits of appliance first, mains second
for the pure and simple reason that I paid for the switches so I'm bloody
well going to use them :-)


There used to be a saying that you switched the kit on like the amp was the
MD - last in and first out. Having been one for over a decade (MD that is,
not amp...) you can take if from me that that is exactly the wrong way
round!

.....A good MD gives 'em time in the morning to correct the cock-ups made the
previous day 'unnoticed' before he arrives and stays on long enough in the
evening to discover what cock-up there will need to be surreptitiously (and
swiftly) corrected before he arrives the next morning!! ;-)
