Charging! Clear! Zap! crank it up to 300, no heart beat Doc, he's a goner
:-) That really does make you stand up and hit your head on the bonnet,
doesn't it? A good rule of thumb when dealing with electricity is to always
keep one hand in your pocket. Seriously, unless you removed the wire and
stuck your finger in the socket, I don't believe you would get a shock
unless there is a fault in the wire or the plug cap.
