[QUOTE="phil d, post: 504141, member: 27126"] I had a chuckle reading this, many years ago we'd tested a large office block over the road from the Manchester Arndale centre and told them in no uncertain terms that the wiring was well past it's date, a lot of it was in VIR. They had been having a lot of issues, hence the reason for getting us in, the trouble was that the owners of the building, a large legal fim, didn't like the price of getting it rewired, then shortly afterwards we had the bombings on the Arndale. Not long afterwards we were again contacted by this company, several buildings including theirs had suffered window damage in the blast and they wondered if it was possible for us to right a report for them stating that their electrical problems were directly attributable to the bomb blast. They were less than happy when we wrote back to them stating that not only would it be stretching the bounds of reality, but could also damage our reputation if we were to do this, considering the bomb blast had done no more damage than blow out a couple of large windows.
