Fans in America. They don't come with the regulators on the wall near the switches, so that you can regulate the speed by turning the knob to the speed you want the fan to go at. No. Instead they have a dangly chain (like the old style toilet flushes) which you need to pull. If the fan is off, you pull once and it goes at top speed. Pull once more, it slows down, Pull once more, it slows down even further. Pull once more and its off. Simple, right ? Wrong. If the fan is ON, there is no way for you to know which speed it is at, so if you want to switch it off, you need to go and stand under the fan and patiently pull at the chain, till it stops.
What do you do if you are too short (like my kids) to pull the chain yourself to turn the fan on (or off) ? Yep - you bother someone who is taller to come and do it for you. Or invest in a step ladder for every room of your house.

I Like your blog. I am starting a controversy blog called plastic mortality it's on my profile page. I thought you might find the information in my blog helpful. Ask The Car Dr. is an interactive blog designed for those of us who are driving and maintaining older vehicles as well as those with an interest in Hybrids and newer fuel cell technology. My last Volvo 740GL had over 360,000 mile on it before the time came to replace it. Quite honestly the car still was reliable enough to keep driving but my 140lb dog had his way with tan the interior and we were ready for a change. Knowledge is power and the tips in my blog could save you money if paid attention to. This is a new blog moderated by a former professional mechanic who is now a musician. Thanks for reading.
