Sorry - have just realised it's the same standard email the rest of you have received. It will be interesting to see if the next lot of replies are different (given that some of our emails will have differed).

My interpretation is that Honaloochie said "Wat Graham26 sed"... people thought this was a pun, because a watt is a unit of power (but not a "wat", I don't know what that is).

Actually a whole load of electricity related puns just popped into my head, but I'll spare you for now...

i bet Rosie Nagel had a bad day, today..

Oh BLAST i've watsed TOO much time on this to work it out

W**F

[sophiesofa]

Now I can't work out if the 'BLAST' and 'TOO' are part of the joke. Thanks Jeremy for the explanation but I'm also confused by the single 't'. I think I give up now and have a current bun!

You know what you are doing? You are giving them the chance to come up smelling of roses. If this PR woman had any savyy (and being in her particular job, I bet she's pretty good) she'll spin it, roll it out, get some media coverage and noone in the wider world will be wiser that it all started off as a complaint against it on the EDF. It'll look like a major initiative to help the environment. Bravo!

[bigblue99]

funny you should say that - I had a reporter contact me from the South London Press about wanting to do a story on this...so as you say Nero - from small acorns and all that - it will be interesting to see comes of this. Lets wait and see what happens next week...

If it means that they turn off the lights and the tvs then does it matter? It'll take a lot more that a PR offensive about correcting poor environmental behaviour for Foxtons to come up smelling of roses.

Ohm I God, Jez and SophieS. Wire you not getting this?

Fuse two don't power yourselves a stiff drink and go back over the thread and figure it out, I might take to my bed faraday.

WoofMarkThe Dog, please contact SophieSofa, arrange to meter and explain, if you'd be so kind. Don't be terse though, it's not her volt.

I'll take Jeremy aside and explain watts watt.

[Andystar]

I reckon that their light display is reVOLTing..

[Mick Mac]

Look - lets just drop this - Foxtons are a bunch of watsers and don't deserve the attention.

[woofmarkthedog]

No because it's a good thread

"Betting " lets drop that ?

Back to your stable ......"neigh"

W**F

[HonaloochieB]

What once appeared slightly amusing when in my cups is of course now scabby and useless.

I'll get back to you another time AnotherPaul.

Waving to you.

Didn't you get my watsers joke Woof? The whole thread has derived from wat HB sed earlier.

[tonyw3]

I just thought I'd tell you that yesterday the lights were off in Foxtons at night. Also the TVs were on, but not displaying a picture - however still burning electricity. The only light on was the fridge. Has anyone else noticed this?

[computedshorty]

?

[Danstable]

computedshorty - She'd only be wasting energy if she put more water in the kettle than she actually needed for her cuppa. In fact, the use of a flask could be considered the bigger waste of energy as that flask had to be made....AND the water boiled.

Good news that the lights are off....were they all off or just the office lights, with the signs left on?

ALL lights were off - apart from the fridge light at the front. We need to keep an eye out to see whether this was a one-off accident or something more permanent.

[woofmarkthedog]

They didn't pay the electricity bill apparently. Seems they'd been on estimated previously bills when they read the meter proper, whallop! Great big bill forced them out of business.......yeah ...so I heard!

go on quids, you have this one...
