Just before I left work yesterday I noticed a burning smell, kinda like the smell you get when you use a dusty old Scalextric. I couldn’t figure out where the smell was coming from so I went up stairs to ask a couple of the guys to help me sniff out the offending kit. By the time I came back downstairs the office stunk of burning and the lights had tripped out. Some sniffing and prodding later and we found a burned out transformer on one set of lights.
Not what you need on a Friday night when you’re late for Karate…
Well, I’m back in the office this morning, helping to move kit to the new site, and most of the lights are working. The offending transformer has been removed (not replaced). 
Fun, fun, fun…
Cheers

I’m going to hire some bodyguards to get me through the last 4 weeks. I want my 50 pence payout…

The dodgy transformer was right above your old desk Bryan. You are now the number one suspect.
