shocking
Whe i was a nipper I decided it would be a god idea to find our how my pendant light switch worked !!!!
This consisted of a Length of flex hanging from the ceiling with a Push/Push switch on the end, I then decided to unscrew the two parts of the switch and then turn it on with my fingers inside !!!!!!
Not a good idea but thank god for DC Voltage !!!!

it threw me across the bedroom !!!!!!#

Aother good one wasnt my fault, I was working on a Customers Cooker (This cooker had a long flex with a 13mp plug fitted) when she asked me If i would like a cup of tea, as usual i said yes at which point she picked up the Flex to the cooker and plugged it in !!!!!!

I felt like I had been kicked in the chest for a couple of days after.

Same rsults as before a Flying service engineer !!!!!!!!

DC Voltage?
You're an engineer? And lights have DC voltage? Really? Are you absolutely sure? I smell Billy Bullshit here. And I'd love to see a DC voltage throw you across the floor- that would be unique.

service engineer eh?
dc voltage on the light circuit? hmmmmmm

also, as far as I know, electric cookers are always fitted on a dedicated 16 amp spur and are wired directly into a dedicated socket in the wall, so no plug to plug in.
