You are lucky mate, cos electric shocks are fucking horrible, had a fair few in my time and I don't wish them on anyone. I am lucky, I have a high resistance but if you don't then you are a gonner. Title: Re: Anyone recommend an electrician? Post by: timmyg on Sunday, January 3, 2010, 19:47:00 That's exactly what I did when I needed the guy a listed above!
I was putting in a new wall light (replacing an old one) and needed to put in a new rawl plug when BANG! I saw a blinding light, and flew back about 4 feet! Anyway, your man came over and disconnected the wiring that was still sticking out of the smoking crater in the wall and made it all safe. It's what I refered to above as "bits and bobs"!

Title: Re: Anyone recommend an electrician? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Sunday, January 3, 2010, 19:50:38 I had one once, when fiddling about with plugs behind the TV. The shock itself came from the TV after I out my hand on the back to use it as a support whilst bending down, from then on I knew why so many warnings about TV's.
A very very unpleasant experience which hurt for several days afterwards. Title: Re: Anyone recommend an electrician? Post by: Berniman on Monday, January 4, 2010, 10:50:27 Dave Sinclair 07779 729637 Elecsa
