    I had the pleasure of being the first to sample Adnams Broadside at The Dog at Ludham many decades ago. A most enjoyable lunch hour, and an even better siesta in the afternoon ! Hic ! Iain

    Oh dear went brain dead Charlie, I was thinking pylon 11kv and as Grendel says no earth. Working on the islands you create the earth by single or tripple copper rods, take your earth from the neutral, and PME the whole building with 10mm earth wire ! Agreed, Vaughan, it sounds very iffy to me. Iain

    By 660v Charlie I assume it was three phase? If so, that would explain why you had to manually switch it off. Iain

    Yep it will work and is a cheap solution with no tools or connecting required, just plug it in.

    I forgot to add, that is a true story! It happened at the New Horizon yard at Thorpe the old Hearts yard. Iain

    Or as one couple asked when they phoned the boatyard, how many bottles of water do we require to fill the water tank !!! Iain
