[QUOTE="phil d, post: 446267, member: 27126"] I remember one in a hospital years ago, old board with loads of rewireable fuses in it, non of them marked up and needed to isolate an outside light circuit, it was in an area of the hospital that didn't contain any critical gear. Anyway hospital spark looks at it, did a bit of swearing, opened a fitting on the offending circuit and shorted the cables with a screwdriver, there was a bit of a bang and the lights went out, "sorted, there you go" says the spark, "how does that help finding the fuse"? I asked, "it doesn't" he replied, "but I'm off for a fortnights holiday tomorrow, let some other ****** find it, I'm sick of boards not being labelled", He put his screwdriver in his pocket and disappeared.
