    Fatally flawed - UK Electrical Safety

    Ladies and gents,


    There's currently a campaign gong on the urge the government and general public to cease the use of potentially dangerous safety socket covers.


    Basically those little plastic inserts you put into your sockets to stop kids playing with them are not as safe as you're led to beleive.


    Please take a few minutes to visit the website and make up your own mind.

    Why is this in the RLC forum? Is it a thinly veiled insult?!

    They have taken to putting these stupid things in my local Wetherspoons pub. Most annoying when I'm nicking their leccy for my android phone or netbook and availing myself of their free wi-fi.

    I have showered in India with mains power for the safari park passing a half foot above my head (which the shower water passed through).
    It was good while it lasted.
