...two of my index fingers and two of my thumbs still have the scars of grasping live and neutral of the mains... Remember, never let your ten year old son wire the Christmas tree lights on their own
Just the two of each? At least the others were unscathed.
Sorry.
I don't really remember much about my first shock from the mains, at a similar age. The front came off a plug I was trying to pull out of a socket. Oh dear. Never mind, if I just put my fingers very carefully around the outside... then I was on the opposite side of the room for some reason.
