Woke up late due to a person going around unplugging hook ups to do a test at 07.00 in the morning,  by unplugging the power it switched off my alarm and made us sleep in which messed up our plans for the day, Well done Looe site management (NOT)

Some people use an alarm ... others use a phone. And besides, it's easier to look at an alarm clock through the night for the time rather than blinding yourself with your phone.

indeed each to their own, it was a plug in one I was amazed at. Too much faff on having to plug it in and set the time every new trip, for me that is.

Besides think of the wasted electricity when no one is there to look at it?smile

Actually I use my wristwatch (has a soft light) to tell the time during night hours, and yes I sleep with it on!!

Site staff don't start until 9.00 am so who would allow an electrician on site at 7.00 am?  

If (big if) we need an alarm, we use the phone.

Rubbish taken from the bins here at 8am and have previously seen staff undertaking tasks at that time. Not 7am though.

One can get little plastic plugs to fit into 13 ampere sockets to stop the electricity leaking out when there is nothing plugged in.  I'll can sell you some for Β£25 each.

Morning

Firstly the club implement the good old working time directive which means we're not allowed to go over our contracted hours. No site staff would be working at seven am unless on an emergency, nor would they allow any contractor on site then.

We do monthly tests on all electrical equipment but would never disconnect someone's hook up without prior advice. We would test occupied bollards between customers visits.

Funnily though, I know the warden at Looe site and to him there's only one seven in the day and it's not early!surprised

does a clock tell the time when no one is looking at it?

The OP was not asking for different ways of being awoken! Could it have been that a neighbour was having a problem with their hook up and made a bad decision to try next doors hook up? Not clever if that is what happened.

That happens quite a bit John. I'm guessing that was the case hereundecided

Strange thing is, if he was awoken at 7, how did he lay late?foot-in-mouth
