Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Interesting, 3 phase in the UK

This is the funny part, no they don't! British gas will give me the meter
for free, and install it for free. Now all I need is to get one of those
people at Manweb to say they'll fit the line for free again on tape. Then I
can play it back to them when they quote me the £1k again.
