Came home from work today and our postie had left a parcel in our electric box. Some inner tubes. /Exciting!!/ Went to get the parcel out and the switch just after the meter in the box was buzzing and smoking :S

We've had water coming through the wall in our downstairs toilet for a little while, wet circles on the paint, haven't worked out from where yet, but it's also been running down the tails from the fuse box into the meter box. Not good.

Oh yes, forgot to finish the story. Turned the power off as soon as I noticed that. I called out WPD because it was an emergency in the meter box and he said the switch wasn't their responsibility but he changed it anyway which was nice of him.

Back working now but I think the water has broken our digital meter too. Have to sort out the leak now :(
