Tripping of circuit caused by an extension lead.
Aunt bought (or rather had bought for her) a dehumidifier (BQWDH-610A), it says on the instructions "to avoid tripping the circuit do not use an extension lead". I can not see why plugging in to an extension lead would affect the electrics at all. I thought the warning was "to avoid tripping" i.e. falling over the trailing flex but apparently the warning is "to avoid tripping the circuit" does anyone know why an extension lead would trip any circuit? NB I haven't seen this warning aunt says it is "to avoid tripping the circuit" but I am more and more convinced it is "to avoid tripping" -- This space intentionally left blank. |

I suppose when Tesco operate in the USA (if they don't already) ... I remember looking at the bag for a TV accessory (a coax flylead or similar) identifying the item concerned by means of its "Prat no." -- Andy |

The message
from John White contains these words: The chain cutter in my local shed was labeled "Not for pubic use" at one point. Would that be the Golders Green branch? -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |
