Not interested in girls toys as a child but rather more intrigued by my brother’s electronic toys, often taking them apart to see how they worked. Much to the annoyance of my brother and even more so my parents, as (as usually happens) there was always a few bits left over when I reassembled it and it never quite worked the same... on Boxing Day. I think I can be forgiven though as I was only around 8 or 9 at the time.
However, the tinkering never quite stopped and more recently a gas installer servicing my boiler had to contend with me looking over his shoulder telling him which wires go where on the mod board and the fact that the temperature sensor wasn’t working properly even though I’d replaced it and also taken apart and cleaned out the flow switch.
He’s now installed a new boiler and I’m under strict instructions NOT to try and take it apart… There’s nothing like a challenge…
