[QUOTE="Hylthom, post: 464967, member: 30167"] Thanks to everyone. I agree I may be over-reacting. My first work on electricity without training was very involved, and at the end I fitted the Consumer Unit with tails dangling for the Board to come and connect. Having examined the work they said the job was so well done I may as well have connected to their supply myself. Not too long ago I was doing a job elsewhere and switched off everything, including the Consumer Unit. But I decided to test the cable I was going to interrupt. Good thing I did, it was LIVE. How, I do not know. It was always my habit to test the circuit even after I KNOW I have put the associated switch off. The wall is brick, so clipping will do. Much appreciation for all comments.
