    Unfortunate..

    Poor bugger...
    I wonder if it has or had current electrical certificate? Could the caravan owners be liable if it wasn't legally attached to shore power?
    Well, the music got silenced but not in the fashion he was hoping for...

    Well here's a thought, unplug it and then cut the wire, point made without the unpleasant death part.

    Obviously thinking things through was not this guy's strength.

    Well he dealt with the ;amp'lifier.

    Sad state of affairs tho' I know where he was coming from re the noisy neighbour aspect. I've felt like taking an axe to the occassional hifi unit.
