Mv>Hello Tim,

Mv>On Tuesday September 13 2016 18:55, you wrote to me:

TR>>> No, it wasn't "...all hearsay." It was from watching guys plug in
TR>>> that nice electric razor they'd brought along from the states,
TR>>> turn it on for a shave, and all the smoke it made burning out!

TR>> Yes. I said that, and SAW that a few times.

Mv>> "a few times". As in "more than once".

TR> Yes. More than once.

TR> 1. I wouldn't know one from another as the only thing I ever `plugged'
TR> in while I was there was the floor buffer;

Mv>So you claim to have seen them "plug it in" more than once, but you have
Mv>no clue as to what type of plug they inserted into what type of socket...

No. The times I saw bad results from plugging into sockets not proper for
whatever someone was trying to make work, I was not the `watch-carefully-
and-have-report-ready-for-fifty-or-more-years-in-the-future-in-case-some-
guy-named-Van der Vlist-demands-full-in-depth-report duty those times. It
was someone else on the duty roster for that task every every time. Sorry.
Too bad.

Mv>Figures...

Take it up with the First Shirt. He was the one who made up the roster for
that particular duty task. I never got assigned to that duty.

Mv>> And yes, you mentioned voltage adapters, Adding that they were not
Mv>> used in the cases described. You never mentioned plug-adapters.

TR> I think I said `adapters'.

Mv>I *know* you mentioned voltage adapters. (And them not being used in the
Mv>cases you claimed to have watched)

So...what's the big deal? I don't know how they plugged whatever they were
trying to use that got burnt. It wasn't either my job or a matter of interest
to me to investigate. In fact, I didn't care then....nor do I care now.

Mv>> Typically they do NOT bring 440 Volts to the house and it is not
Mv>> stepped down at the house incoming box. Tp "step down" you need a
Mv>> transformer and it is not typical to have transfromers in the
Mv>> house.

TR> I don't know where you are refering to.

Mv>Common knowledge and reports from fellow hams about how eletric power is
Mv>brought into residences in the US.

TR>  Here in the USA thats what happens.

Mv>No it is not.

Yeah...it is.

TR> In Belgium or the European Union Islamic utopia you live in things
TR> may differ.

Mv>Here we go again...


No...here YOU go again!

Get back to me when you've got something interesting to talk about. Or
something to say I care a hoot in hell about.
