Electrical fault, student residences, 10pm. Faulty toaster causes breakers to trip. IT notice fault and call out electrician. Electrician arrives. Flat in darkness. No TV, no music, no cooker, no kettle. Students immediately complain to him that "the wifi isn't working".

Word of the day is 'sequaciousness' (17th century): the blinkered, unreasoning, and slavish following of another, no matter where it leads.
