Paul,
Are you telling me that all of the equipment in the Kitchen are on the same Ring circuit?,I thought that they had a dedicated feed for things like Cookers and other heavy current users.:eek
Like yourself, mate I don't agree with the Ring circuit,we are still finding the odd one over here, the differences being they never had fused plugs on them and sometimes you might be really lucky and find one that is fed by two fuses, not the two wires going
into one fuse, a real Electrician Killer.
