Our electrickery went off at around 3.30am this morning. I know this because the reserve battery in the mains powered smoke alarm outside the bedroom is obviously low and the bloody thing kept beeping at 30 second intervals all night.
I finally gave in and got up investigate at 0715 and found it had tripped out. I went out to the shed and unplugged the old freezer which started playing up a couple of days ago and all was restored to normal.
Now need to buy a new freezer in the so called January sales. The old one has been faultless since 1984, so weve had our moneys worth out of it.

Yes, it is interesting how long freezers can last for.  We had one that lasted 30 years, and even then it was still working fine but as the cabinet was showing signs of be 30 years in a garage it was decided to replace it when we moved house

Our current Fridge Freezer we bought when we moved here in 2001. It works fine.  Except that when the dishwasher popped the trip on Tues, and it was off for an hour, the freezer temp rose by 5C.  When the power was off for about 8hrs during the garage thing, it completely defrosted.

So although it works, the seals are clearly tired.

Which means it will be using a lot more power than a modern one.

Given that his dishwasher gets run 3 times a day, do you think he gives a shit?

Part arrived and fitted on Friday afternoon.

Then down to Currys Friday evening to buy a new dishwasher...   ...the cheapest, crappiest thing that they actually had there ready for me to take away.  Then over to KFC for an emergency intake of the Colonels secret recipe, only for that to be stone cold.  I have enough trouble with the fast digestion rate of KFC without it being cold

Last time I went there they didn't even get my order right despite taking about 45 minutes to think about it.

Still, at least it didn't result in me spending the evening on the potty.

Does anyone else think TB's 'potty problems' are related to a less than healthy diet.

I see you've been to the Gatwick one as well... 

Whomever thought that a drive through KFC was a good idea should be forced to pay the losses...

Nope quite the opposite. They managed this level of incompetence in the middle of nowhere in the fens - on the Ely bypass, IIRC.
