How is this possible?
My mum has a double two way switch that operates the kitchen and dining room lights. I won't touch that switch any more because when I do I get a shock. Once it knocked me to the floor.
I have spoken to electricians in the past who have told me it's not possible. They've rolled their eyes and raised their eyebrows when I argue that I know from first hand experience that it is!
I understand their doubts though, as I know enough to know that plastic is not a good conductor!
Also, I'm not the only person to have felt this strange phenomenon.
It's not too much of an issue as with it being a two way switch the lights can be switched off from another point, but what are your thoughts on this?
