Here's why you should always prove dead before working! Had been at this house all day doing various jobs to the upstairs lighting and had found that all the lighting was off of the one MCB labelled 'upstairs lights'.. simple enough. Just about to leave the house when she asks me to change a light switch in a bedroom I hadnt been in yet, so I flick off the same MCB and start pulling the switch apart.
Got the earth in one hand between thumb and finger, and grab the live in the other between thumb and finger..... yep u guessed it! jumped back a bloody mile, almost fell over, and really felt it across my chest...
I know i shouldnt have done it but why else would the numpty have put that one bedroom on a different circuit.
I feel lucky to be alive!!!!
