I feel the need to clear a couple of things up here...
She was unpacking the suitcase, anybody that has been on holiday with a female will understand this one. Personally I wouldn't bother and just grab what I needed from the case (or tip the lot in the corner) but no, everything had to be either hung on rails, folded and put in a drawer, or examined again for marks and creases that might of happened during transit.
I would always carry at least 1k of Euros in cash, but didn't trust the safes in the room and felt uncomfortable carrying it around. So I would look for storage spaces. ie, Ceiling voids, floor panels, shower access etc etc.
Anyway, that's why I had the front of the consumer unit off at that one time and curiosity set in causing me to start removing the other socket and access panel. Ok my girlfriend might not of spoke to me for the rest of the day but 25 years later I've now learnt what a 'lolipop' circuit is so all has turned out well in the end.
Well nearly ok, women seem to give me a wide berth for some reason.. I went on a date last Summer and was looking around an old historical building, I noticed led bulbs in old style light fittings and happened to mention this to her every room we walked in to. Never saw her again
I think I need to date a lady spark if I can find one!
