This is one we should all know!
We got a call about a customer that had been laying a new water pipe to his house, saw a pipe in the garden and thought it was the one he wanted
So he cut it!
And it went bang and he got an electric shock!
It was phoned into us as it was thought to be the service cable.
It wasn't it was a private cable to his garage and was a SWA laid in some alkathene waterpipe as a duct!
