The socket was where??.
Trumpy,
You see it was a very strange house. The guy was a pot smoking hippie living out in the Tasmanian bush and he'd built the house himself. There was not a square room in the place and it even had a tree trunk in the middle of the living room which the house had been built around.
Fortunately, the house had been wired by a licenced electrician. A GPO had been installed under the house for a washing machine (you could walk in under part of the house as it was on the side of a hill). Only thing was when my friend decided to wall in his 'laundry' the power point wasn't relocated. The lethal extension lead was so short that I could barely get the wires around the cord grips in the plug (and we know often DIY'ers never use those don't we?)
and still have enough to reach the socket.
Being in the Tassie bush on a weekend holiday there was no where I could get a decent length of 3 core flex so had to at least make what was there safe. It's surprises like this that make electrical work so interesting [Linked Image]
