Re: A Question

I have an anti-surge extension for the TV, sky box etc. I have no idea if it would save the equipment in the event of a strike or not. It was just in the cupboard and I needed it. I still watch tv and use the computer during a storm (when I'm not looking out the window at it that is)

Thank you my lovely.

Next time I have my electrician here for anything I will ask him about these anti-surge things and if my wiring is alright.
It is not something many women would know about, I'll bet.

If I looked in somewhere like B & Q or Screwfix etc, how would I know it's an anti-surge one, does it say clearly on it?

A Belgian punk singer who, legend has it, died changing a light bulb whilst standing in a bath of water. I'm not sure if that is completely true.

Got to agree with your logic there, Tabs.


Just read through your link.
It does say quite clearly, "do not use any wired appliances."
Bit scary, but very informative, so thanks for that.
