Maybe you are too young to remember the "winter of discontent" when we
had long power cuts c1976. Too much effort to explain as the whole lot
is for the bin.


Heh heh - I can well remember the 'Winter of Discontent' being one of the
very discontented workers - fed up to the back teeth with government
trying to control prices and incomes - but only partially succeeding in
controlling incomes for some - including me. While prices rocketed.

I was interested in how a pumped system could be switched to manual. A
hamster in a wheel to turn the pump?
