......one of the myriad non-electricians who delight in telling your electrician the story of the time you got electrocuted, that's fine, we love a handful of sparks tale, especially over a mid-morning brew. But PLEASE don't claim you were 'THROWN ACROSS THE ROOM'. All non-electricians were apparently 'THROWN ACROSS THE ROOM'.
It's not big, it's not clever and it didn't happen....so don't insult our intelligence by claiming it did.
This is a public service announcement on behalf of all electricians having to politely nod during the 'I WAS THROWN ACROSS THE ROOM' daily ordeal.

No mate, Willis. It was from a 70's / 80's TV show called Different Stokes, had 2 brothers 1 older & 1 younger.
When the younger 1 didn't understand what his brother was saying, that was always the question: What you talking about Willis :)

Worst thing that happened to me a good few years ago was climbing into a loft in a house that had just changed hands to have a look at the wiring prior to doing some jobs. Found a switch for the loft light and switched it on but nothing so assumed dud or missing bulb, so I climbed up off the steps and stood up carefully only for my forehead to touch the live bare cable where the tight morons had taken the light from when moving out, and I'd switched it on ! Felt like the inside of my head lit up ! :eek:

All that and you still managed not to not fall through the ceiling

Something of a variation today. An elderly lady who just wanted a single RCD socket changed to a double told me about the time when she was 18 and her then boyfriend made her a radio. It stopped working so she took the back off and had a bit of a rummage around forgetting it was still plugged in. ' Hurled across the room' she was...
Nice cup of tea though.
