It appears she did. And when I said I had fuses she was horrified.


I've just had some fuses replaced with trip switches on a house I'm
letting out. It makes life an awful lot simpler.


Why is it simpler?


You just push the lever instead of finding some fuse wire and rewiring
the fuse.


Can you imagine a tenant doing this? More likely to ring the landlord in
the middle of the night.


Because they don't know how to push a switch? Mind you when I worked for Sky, someone phoned up thinking their Sky box was broken. I figured out nothing on a socket was working (he had the light on and assumed there was therefore no powercut), and had to tell him likely places to look for a fusebox.
