In the coming weeks we will all get to see the annual daisy chaining of extention leads feeding Christmas lights, decorations hanging from a/c grills, people asking for stepladders to hang up decorations or better still seeing them on desks and chairs.

Keeping this posting light hearted whats the worst you have seen either in the office or onsite?

Did anyone see Mythbusters on Discovery show how the fires occur with these situations? It was spectacular and very rapid.

I do like to get down to 24volt or less if I can but people feel the bulbs are a bit small.

Candles alight wrapped in chiffon-like curtaining ... but it was "ok" because they (the office staff) would blow them out when they went home.

The *broken* four-footed wheelie chair used as steps (they didn't want to step on a chair that someone had to sit on ... (Engineers))

Oh, those were the days ...
