[21:20] <daftykins> PHEW, what a day
[21:20] <daftykins> so my old single-phase electric supply got cut and transferred to the new 3-phase today... unfortunately on getting home my neighbour text me to say he was without juice
[21:20] <daftykins> turns out they goofed... there is now a hosepipe like cable going through my letterbox and into his, tapping power off the 'head' inside my front cupboard :)
[22:29] <zxmpi> couldn't you just give him a bucket of leccy like the olden days
[22:31] <daftykins> ah you know how it goes, you give them a bucket one day, they want 2 the next... and so on...
[22:36] <penguin42> daftykins: They gave you a full 3 phase?
[22:40] <daftykins> yep
[22:41] <daftykins> oddly i looked closer at my pics and i see strips marked 0, 1, 2, 3 on the new line - fascinating how they splice, i watched the entire process
[22:41] <daftykins> as they cut the sheath off the new they found a label too, says it was made by Pirelli in 1977
[22:42] <penguin42> haha, so what are you going to do with a 3phase?
[22:42] <daftykins> nothing! the upgrade was fully decided by them
[22:43] <daftykins> i still have an old Wilex/Wylex porcelain fuse wire board on this place :) 
[22:48] <daftykins> fascinating video of a chance rescue btw: https://youtu.be/3D9LK_MMzfY
[23:00] <penguin42> daftykins: Did they give you three meters or just wire one phase?
