I too read this thread because I thought there might be some amusing comments.

However coming to the bit about bathrooms today we have a sad but graphic example of how ignorance is the killer not location of plugs or hi vixz clothing.

A thirty something guy in Essex killed himself because he was recharging his I phone while he was using it in the bath. he had the charger connected to an extension lead and balanced the actual charger unit on his chest while in the bath using the phone.

Even then there was a comment from the coroner about Mobile Phone manufacturers needing to put warning labels on devices for that kind of situation. Do people under 40 learn anything at school about day to day thinsg that kill you?


in addition i have observed of late my own 'syndrome' which I like to call Hi Viz blindness which is a situation where there are so many yellow jackets that your brain discounts them as individual objects or people and in fact only notices those not using them
