Never mind the power, get the tv working
My dad spent a long time in the television repair & rental business before his retirement.
One day he got called-out to mend a tv which "wouldn't turn on", upon arrival he went to switch on the living room light and discovered the property had no power.
Explaining this to the little old lady he received the reponse: "I know that! just get the telly working!"
I can't remember the outcome but it probably involved a torch & the meter cupboard..
