Thank you for the many informed and informative posts. However, I think I'll still exercise due reserve when working with electricity. As mentioned earlier I've had a coupe of avoidable toastings from mains AC leaving me with a much weaker shoulder/elbow and a permanent mild tremor to my right arm/hand (always prompts some additional investigation whenever I meet whichever GP is on duty nowadays). I've no idea what actually did for the far travelled Frenchman (the car was registered in Languedoc) but I can't help but think it was damp/metal/battery-terminals/congenital heart problem(?) related. Mind, I bet it was quick.
