Since moving in to this flat about 6 weeks ago, the following items have broken or started to behave oddly:
- Humax PVR started displaying everything in a shade of pink when set to RGB output (like it always has been).
- One of my LCD panels had its display totally corrupted with a strange tartan effect for about a day, and then went back to working perfectly again without me doing anything.
- My hair clippers just stopped working, half way through using them.
- My electric toothbrush wouldn’t turn off for a few minutes, then it stopped and won’t turn back on again now.
- A brand new wall wart for a wifi access point died after 3 weeks.
- One of the ports on my desktop switch is permanently lit up while nothing is plugged in. When you plug something in the lights go out.

Friday the 13th. At the witching hour.

How close are you to an electric railway line (above or underground?)
Anything big and industrial in the area that might be making for a grotty mains supply ?
How about a static electricity problem when you move around due to carpeting or modern synthetic clothing ?
Trust someone to come up with a sensible answer!
