Using 13 amp lead at friend's house

[Sharky]

When plugging into the mains via the supplied cable, remember to ensure that you are still not on timed charging. This has caught me out! When I plugged the lead in, the green charging light on the box between the cable ends was flashing! and it was only the fact that the charging symbol did not come up on the dash that I realised something was amiss. Turning off charger timing using the phone app solved this.

I would also have no hesitation in asking to plug in at mates house (and offer to pay the £1/€1). I keep one of these in the second half of the liftable underboot floor cubby for just such an occasion: http://www.screwfix.com/p/masterplug-heavy-duty-extension-lead-rcd-1g-240v-15m/98422 (also at B&Q etc)
