When I was about 7, my younger brother and I had been told ' not to mess with the lights'. As soon as my parents were out of sight , he dared me to put my finger in the empty wall socket . Sure enough , I got a shock and didn't do it again but I remembered.
A few weeks later we watched the Coronation on a Philips 9" set , with the curtains closed , of course.
