We will be in touch
A couple of weeks ago our cooker started acting up, the fan oven didn't work and the switch on the biggest ring on the hob became rather eratic so we decided to replace it.
The new cooker arrived with a moulded on plug that didn't match the cooker socket (we are not in the UK so it's not connected directly to the wall) so we needed an electrician to come and connect it as the cooker has a 3 core able and the socket needs 5 cores
Anyway, to cut a long story slightly shorter, it seems that one of the phases had tripped the circuit breaker and the old oven was (probably) fine.
Very embarrassing and rather expensive FAIL on my part to not check the fuse cupboard before shelling out £600 plus installation costs 😳
Shame you couldn't get an odd job man to sort it out.
EDIT - if it was me I'd persuade myself that an expesive fault in the old cooker kicked out the breaker.

if it makes you feel any better, i went round to my mate Liz's house last night to talk about BM dress, and it's going to be strapless!!!! other BM is a bit plump, and I've got no figure really, she'll look like she's busting out and her fat legs will look *great* and i'll spend all day hoicking? it up!! and it's going to be either Jade or Caspian!
Tool, just about sums up how I felt yesterday!

I had to read that a couple of times to understand it! Now i get it (BM=Brides Maid)
It's better to be the thin one than the fatty 👿
The liner and not the tug.
Was your old oven 3 phase?
we are not in the UK so it's not connected directly to the wall
[pedant]not all UK cookers wire directly into the wall. Ours (a Beaumatic) has a standard 3 pin plug.
