in the entire house there were just 3 power points.
get this. not one powerpoint was near the kitchen.
stupid? crazy? or just moronic? couldnt believe it.
One is reminded of when one once lived in MQs at Shawbury.
With the traditional end of FY underspend, it was duly announced that the "big old" quarters would be provided with plumbing for washing machines in the (enormous) downstairs loo. This was duly accommplished . . . and we then pointed out that there was no socket in said downsatirs loo.
"Ah" said the system, "you'll have to use the socket in the hall - extensions leads are available if necessary"
"But, but," we responded, "what if the downstairs loo is needed for its - ahem
- primary duty while a wash is on. We cannot shut the door!".
"Ah" they replied, "good point - we will fix!"
And in due course a tradesman appeared - a carpenter - who cut a small triangle from the bottom of the door, so you could shut the door with the extension lead in place! How elegant a solution.....
