Never go up the stairs, by the time you've got there, you wont remember why you went up.

Been a long time since i was a grease monkey earning my living on Humbers, Hillmans and the odd Ford Zodiac but as my dimming memory recalls the post was isolated and the low tension wires connected to the springs on them there points too. Or have i caught Wilco's problem over the web????
