Replaced both my dodgy consumer units by withdrawing the tails from the

Henly block - if that is what the Bakelite box with two stacked busbars is
called. I used a seriously insulated screwdriver to undo each tail in turn
and
then refitted the cover. Removed and replaced the consumer units and
mounting
board. Remade new tails and then refitted them to the Henly. All without
removing the company seal.

This was all done after watching the bod from the Lecy board replace the
company
fuse by hammering the tar filled remains off the incoming cables (live)
without
any protection apart from the wooden handle of his hammer (and plenty of
practice!).

heh! I quite like watching time-served sparkies at work 'cos they do
things I'd never dream of doing, like check to see if a cable's live
by dragging it over the back of their hand
