Decided, since the weather was nice, I would get the lawnmower out and cut the small area of grass at the front. Gets it out of the shed, dusts the cobwebs off it and carts it round to the front. Ran for about a minute and then just gave up...nothing. Right, check the trip switches on the consumer unit..all fine. Check the fuse in the mower...fine. Hang on, the sky router plugged into the other side of the double socket is off too...hmmmm. Takes the socket off the backbox and checks for power, it's there, but nothing getting to the pin. Socket must be fubared (never seen that before), as well as the mower.
Off to B&Q, new mower, new socket. Got home, cut grass, changed socket, all done. Three fickin hours of my day gone, and over £100 lighter, just for a poxy piece of grass that's about 3mx2m.
Bollicks, wish it would rain.
