Much better to have the old people unable to get to the shops.* Get real.


The problem here is that there's nowhere else to charge the scooters. If
the scooter is taken into the flat it just about fills the hallway and
makes it difficult to get to the kitchen or to exit the flat.

If the tenants park the scooter in the corridor just outside the flat
they are told it's a fire hazard. The corridors are very wide. A scooter
would not be an obstruction. There is maintained lighting.


The real fault is with whoever allowed a critical system (ie telly) to
be powered of a circuit shared by sockets accessible to untrained
persons. (Even if the monkeys who broke things are nominally trained
persons.)


Bull**** of the 1st degree.* It's just lots of sockets on one circuit.


No, it's basic bad practice to put the TV system on a shared circuit. It
can cause all sorts of problems.
