Re: Bodges
The one that still gives me a shiver was the result of a dodgy builder. They had refitted the bathroom, including the electrics, and had put a nail through a live conductor replacing the floor. It could happen to anyone. I guess they discovered it when the earth leakage detector tripped out, so their fix was to reverse L/N in the distribution panel - not so much leakage from N to E I suppose!
I discovered it getting out the bath, stepping on the wooden floor and discovering N was not EXACTLY at earth potential!
