  • I am reminded of an incident recently. I was working for a lovely young family at their cottage in a nearby village. Their two primary aged boys had just returned home from their grandmother's house. She had been looking after them. When I was leaving I saw one boy playing with a 13 Amp plug in the garden. The plug had a length of gold coloured metal picture wire, used to hang pictures on a wall, attached to it. The grandmother had allowed the boy to play with a 13 Amp. plug and the had wrapped the metal wire around all of the three pins as a work of art. I notified the mother, and the offending item was removed from the boy, who then cried loudly. I believe that the plug could have been inserted, picture wire and all, into a live socket.
