[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 555334, member: 6969"] Well SWMBO works in a commercial kitchen, all stainless steel worktops and commercial sized ovens, microwaves etc. She was telling me of staff getting a "tingle" from one (of 3) microwaves. They had reported it and had electricians out twice. The problem was the one on the lower shelf, the 2 on the upper shelf were fine. The one on the lower shelf was new. It was pat tested and declared okay and the electrician checked all the sockets and earth bonding to the metal worktops. Still they got shocks. I sent SWMBO to work with my socket tester, they reported all sockets had an earth. By some random moving around of plugs, she arrived at a point where with a particular combination of which microwave plugs into which socket, none of them gave a shock. So I suspect some dodgy sockets. That's a bit of a waffle to say it is not always easy. [/QUOTE]
