    Folks, bit of an emergency.
    Rain hammering down outside and a leak started through the ceiling in upstairs bedroom. Around 30cm from the light fitting.

    I've no bloody ladder and the attic hatch is very high up.

    Common sense tells me 'oh dear better knock off the fuse for the lights upstairs, I open the fuse box hatch and for the life of me can't make out which one is for the upstairs lights.

    I've attached a pic, maybe some of you would know just by the row and what breaker is on it,

    Any help is very much appreciated

    I dont know id guess middle row from memory of having an old board like that but just leave a light on upstairs and unscrew them one by won till you find it. Typing that post probably took more time that it would to do that.

    Well I just pulled out the fuse first one from left on the top row and every light in the house went out, I would have thought upstairs and downstairs would have separate fuses!!!

    thats probably a main fuse. Put it back and try second row maybe. They should be smaller fuses.
