Let me get this right....................

You got an electric shock off a tap while standing in your bare feet?
ok so far..............

You then go and put your shoes on and a pair of leather gloves then again use the same tap that 2 minutes previously nearly killed you ?

mmmmmm..........must just be me:shocked:

If he was used to working on a live bus bar chamber he would possibly learn to keep one hand in his pocket lol
He needs to insulate his feet and do the dishes one handed,or better still,do as suggested and watch the rugby

Deals with a similar problem the other week for a friend.

Had his hand on the washing machine and touched the sink, he got a belt. Turned out the CPC had never been connected in the back of the socket feeding the washing machine! Bloody new build houses!

He has also had the terminals melt at the rear of his cooker which no doubt was a loose connection..

Let him off if he was washing his glass because his missus was out.

Getting back to the topic, could this not have been static, I've known it happen. It still needs to be investigated

Thats what I said on post number 10
