That must have been one heck of a primary school you went to, Graham Hartley.
I don't think we learned much about microwave radiation and quantum mechanics even at AGS!

I once had to turn up to a Restaurant to repair a microwave, the Chef in his wisdom had taken his carving knife to the door catch (not the switch) and had resorted to putting a brick in front of the door to keep it shut.
This was a large expensive catering machine, all singing and dancing state of the art expensive!
He claimed he had done it to try to stop it beeping when it finished cooking because it could be heard in the dining area, he didn't want his customers to hear him defrosting the ready meals he was serving up.
His stupidity as well as being dangerous did not of course stop the beep, it did cost his bosses the price of a new machine, because although when we finished repairing any machine we used all the correct equipment and tests to ensure the safety of any microwave oven, we weren't prepared to say that machine would ever be safe again.
Microwave ovens are perfectly safe if maintained and checked correctly by qualified personnel, anyone removing a door switch is a fool.

At Mount Pleasant in Clayton-le-Moors, Mrs Pickering and Mrs Haydock would often assist us with essays by giving the first line - usually 'Last night I went to bed and thought...' which was of course a gift to me. Before that sentence had ended I had mentioned the Texas transistor, now all power MOSFETS - Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistors (if I may capitalise) but then low-power p-channel hardware with a map of Texas printed on each one. There arose my fondness for Geography, and my award of full marks from Ma Waring for my 3X essay on Iceland. I venture to mention Jean Scull and Harry Foulds, who would often open a lesson by inviting questions. A few of us gave them them runs, but rarely pauses.

An open microwave cavity is such an adventure! Even if it kills - and it rarely does that to humans even of the most stupid variety - for evidence, I am yet alive - it is a sacrifice worth making.
Are we not at risk of judgement that we are no longer helping this woman with her telephone extension, and so can be pot-shot banned?
And just the proof that MargeretR needs to prove that microwaves can addle the brain!
I hate to repeat myself but, I will emphasize what I have already said,

I'll bet you've had that effect on a few people.
It's called a 'thread wander', Graham Hartley. Not entirely approved if it goes on too long but permitted.
And a thread wander can be so much fun. Look how we are learning what you thought about in bed!
Incidentally, I can't speak for MargartR but I think she might prefer 'this lady' or MargaretR .Perhaps Margaret might seem over familiar.

Yet I fear that I will have but a short life here, given the fun some derive from my autistic posturing. Can one say 'some' without meaning 'Margaret Polkington' if I have her name aright?

Thanks for reading my remarks in the intended spirit.
I see no spirit in your posts, I see someone that is most likely troubled, very troubled in fact and tries to hide it whilst having the minimum of success with that deceit on anyone but himself!
Pity not contempt though, is the only emotion I can offer you.
Your life on here can be as long as you want it to be. It's up to you, the 'limits' are almost limitless. As you've found you can get away with quite a lot.
I am just as confident you're not autistic as I am that you knew Margaret Pilkingtons correct name. I could be wrong, I hope not.
Any number of master sockets can be connected to a circuit as they are paralleled on the A and B lines only (connections 2 and 5 on the socket) connection 3 is the ringing circuit only.
MargaretR and I are two different people......and it is quite easy to do the courteous thing, which is to spell my name correctly.
Spelling it as you have done, strikes me that you are in the business of deliberately causing offence and being bad mannered.
This is not an admirable trait.

It is extremely thoughtless of you, Graham Hartley, and very demeaning to those people who have the misfortune to suffer with autism, to appear to be almost boasting of your so-called connection to this disability.
Your flippant use of the word in connection to yourself reeks of a lack of understanding of the disorder.
It is possible that you do not mean to be disrespectful but in my opinion, for what it’s worth, that is how you come across.
Be thankful that you do not have this disorder. I do not think you are autistic - just rude and full of yourself. These are not traits of autistic people.
