Do you sometimes write stupid things when answering essay questions, assessments and tests? I have a modest education my highest level being university and I'm currently doing some further learning. Here is an answer to one question I was asked about "Office Equipment"

Not entirely sure what this is all about, but I'll run with it...
Telephones...
from 'Tele' meaning across and 'phone' as in phonic - relating to speach or sounds. Soundwaves are converted into electrical waves by means of a carbon granule transmitter - in which carbon granules are vibrated by the sound against a membrane inducing a variable electrical current, where upon they are conveyed through a pair of copper wires via a switching mechanism to another receiving apperatus whereby another carbon granule receiver converts the electrical signal back into a sound wave.
Notification of someone wishing to converse with you is by means of a 76 volt AC current which certainly makes you jump if you're the telephone engineer working on that particular pair of conductors, and makes the exchange technician - who may or may not be called Colin and lives in Salisbury - wet themselves laughing as they generated the ringing current from the exchange, knowing full well which line you were working on at the time. The line then has to be tested back to the exchange by the now tingling engineer for no other reason than pure spite and vengence, by means of sending a 500v DC current from a machine called a 'Megger' which measures resistance, inductance etc of the conductors as well as totally frying the circuit board for that particular number at the exchange, causing the exchange Tech (who might be called Colin) to spend the rest of the day swapping and rebalancing a new circuit board in the main PABX switch...

Derf, thanks for letting me know - potentially (and hopefully) what I'm in for...

I've long since retired from that line of work. I also believe Colin has moved onto pastures new as well.
I did enjoy it for the 5 years I done it, and worked with a great bunch of lads (including Colin!!) I used to love nothing better than sitting in a dirty hole jointing 2 ends of telephone cable listening to simon Bates.

I've got a book ofthese. A couple from it... Why would living close to a mobile phone mast cause ill health?
You might walk into it.
Also... Jeff has been asked to collect data about the amount of TV his friends watch.
Think of can appropriate question he could ask them.
How much TV do you watch?
