My wife has rewired the house.
Jamaica?
No, she did it herself.

and i just thought you had a staaammmer.The occasional off topic quote makes this Forum the best ever perhaps we should have a "spoilsport" button instead? Sorry for the double post "sausage fingers again" Admin can you remove one please? don't want to get accused of building up my post count.
these guys did it:
Tony had one similar to that on another site..Admin could start inserting this at the precise post where the thread became derailed
I think it was due to Jamaican sparks who came over in the early sixties Andy, they did the spider ring as most know it and the name stuck with the sparks from that generation around here, as I worked with lots of sparks who were around at that time it just passed around this area and it has just been called that.Not heard that one before. Do you know why they were called that ?
have some recollection of the time. out of the cable that was saved, the jamaican sparks made their wives bracelets.
I moved into a council property around 1952. This was a newly built shop on a council estate. A year or so later (I must have been aged 12 or 13 at the time) my mother received a severe electric shock from a faulty fridge (live to earth short).Have seen that type of 'ring' in a lot of ex local authority properties i have been involved in rewiring. It always seemed to me the old council houses were always well built and have lasted well. These new modern houses after 10 years they are often in need of rufurbishment.
