Geeeez...Give me strength!

Quote from the article...'If anyone was to open up a junction box or was messing about with it then there was good risk that they would not just get a little shock'


They better remove the thousands of street lights while they're at it then!
(do street lights run on 230V anyway? haha)

Yes so basically if anyone had some ladders or a cherry picker and got access to the tree, then unscrewed the junction box lid and stuck there fingers in, it could be fatal...brilliant

OK if your saying its dangerous but dont say because people could get into the junction boxes...lol

So if someone breaks into my home, and whilst stealing my TV, accidentally gets their face... (i mean finger and totally by accident) wedged into the socket and gets the full brunt of 230v across their teeth.... damn it.... i mean finger again, this is not conforming with health and safety policy? Should i try and run my home entirely off LV supplies and accessories....

Or would i be better off taking my boot off the back of the chaps head to lesson the effects of prolonged shock....

If the scum decide to vandalise something and get electrocuted it serves them right!! They shouldn't have been vandalising it in the first place, what was wrong with decorating the tree in "danger of death" signs then theres plenty of warning, let the tree's stay!
