    An electric shock to earth would be very dang



    When it's been your nth time in the cold and dark that month and you still have to get to a factory tomorrow morning to make Spitfires then running an extension lead doesn't seem all that risky- and we didn't (and still don't) lose that many souls due to electrical incidents.

     


    You don't need an enemy like the Luftwaffe to cause damage and mayhem, and risk lives and destroy homes....just leave an electrical appliance plugged in, like a washing machine or tumble drier.

    You really are an total ***, Z


    Do you really think the occasional tumble drier getting a bit smoky because the lint filter is never cleaned out by the hard of thinking  is in any way comparable to a concerted air attack on civilians


    Take a google for "Sarajevo Generators" to understand how adaptable people are when it comes to providing a basic level of infrastructure - in case you missed it, they used to float the washing machine on a raft in the river to generate a basic level of power - all the whilst under artillery bombardment and snipers popping anyone who moved. They worked well, and were actually reasonably safe


    I'm pretty sure we could find similar contraptions in Syria, Yemen etc


    Do you actually understand the concept of risk ?
