Hmm. Mine is provided by a ruddy great 4 ft long rod droven into the

When I rigged the auto-start genset (cow-methane powered !) we'd had
to upgrade the earthing considerably. 'Leccy board wouldn't let us
rely on a single rod, we had to bury a grid.


I have this strange picture in my head now of Andy standing in a field
cranking a cow's tail as someone nearby is holding a dimly glowing bulb
shouting "we need more power".
