I am only kidding (of course). Sarah is *exactly* the same - I mean
*exactly*. I really wish I had not fitted switched sockets. Many is
the time I have wasted 10 minutes as I waited for the kettle to boil.
One time when I went away to a QL show she turned off everything in my
office, including answer machine, phones (which all discharged their
batteries) and computer running my fax machine.
It is not a question of understanding electricity - she has two degrees.
It is akin to being afraid of spiders - ie unexplainable.

OK - when did *any* electrical equipment in the house catch fire,
including toasters.

Give her more then. I see 40GB hard disks from CPC are now under £25.

Ah yes - Rawden is where Phil Borman used to live. I have corrected the
database. Funny how the eyes/brain are never to be trusted.
