After 500 years in the trade I beheld a wonderous sight today that I thought I would never see .
I open a meter cupboard on the site of a proposed new build ,with the intent to install a buider's socket and there I saw it ....in all its glory ... a sight more rare than Steptoe buying a round or The Coracle Kid being sober for more than a day .....a sight rarer than an Asian footballer playing for a Premireship club ...a sight only likely to be seen the same year that Villa win the League .
Was it a pile of rocking horse pooh I saw before me ? No , this shone like a bright etherial , heavenly light that brought many other sparks flocking to stand before the meter cupboard in wonderment and awe , some kneeling , some reaching out but afraid to touch, others pointing and whispering , some daring to capture the image on their phones .
Someone handed round loaves and fishes and we all ate , and as it grew dark no one wanted to leave , many others came ,as if drawn to the open meter cupboard door , their families came too , and the beasts of the field were there and peace fell upon them .
And then Forum members arrived , the Welsh ones immediatly forming a choir , Scottish ones chanting that there was no Part P in Scotland , Steptoe , leaping from his cart , hammers an earth rod in and tethers Hercules to it , someone from darn sarf paddled into view on the canal .He'd heard that water had been turned into lager.
A few shepherds were seated on the ground , washing their socks by night after treading in all the pooh left by the three wise men's camels .
No one could look directly upon this revered icon lest they be turned to stone so Stepps confirms the thoughts of thousands by looking through a mirror and announcing to the multitude .............
.............. "Yes it is indeed ... a meter with a built-in isolator , bearing the legend, Only to be opened by an electrical contractor" :Salute :Salute:tongue in cheek
