I had a lets say discussion with the NI at elex,and brought up part P and how it came to be,now when I first heard the story of how an MP's daughter had been electrocuted by dodgy electrics I was a tad annoyed to say the least,the impression I got was a small child killed by some dodgy wiring.Then I got the full story,which I hasten to add was lets say blurred to sell a good story.The daughter in question was 30 odd years old,she got killed when her leg touched a dishwasher and her hand touched a metal rack,which had been fitted by her husband,on a wall in between 2 sockets and which people had complained of getting slight shocks off for ages.Now I know we don't like DIY books BUT read any book and it always tells you to avoid drilling into walls in a line horizontally between sockets or vertically above or below sockets or switches.Thats basic common sense,without getting involved with cable detectors or anything else,now lets be honest,regardless of whatever the electrician did that was wrong,ultimately it was the fault of the person who fitted the rack to the wall,her husband.Was he criticised in court? NO! Why because they wanted to blame someone else,and on the back of this to fleece electricians.
