Easiest fault find repair ever.

[M107]

Called to local town council offices.

"we had a refurb done on two of our offices & partially removed the stud wall . Now we are using the office we've discovered that one of the lights doesn't work at all, health & safety dept have picked it up as an issue & we need it sorting asap"

Dropped in this morning sure enough the single light switch just inside the office only operates 1 of the lights, so I stroll across to the partially removed stud wall find 2nd light switch (where a door would have been for old office layout) & turn it on .... hey presto on comes the other light.

How embarrassed was the contracts bloke Applaud Smiley:^O

My bill for stupidity is double the normal charge

Sounds right for council personnel completely stupid.

Around where I live the council want to close 12+ local libraries, sports centres etc to save
