Even if the pipe was 'live' Ed wasn't touching anything else so he wouldn't have got a shock, he was also wearing boots possibly with rubber soles and the floor was carpeted, there would be nowhere for the current to flow.
It was a shocking scene.Quote:

He controls the heat, I wouldn't have thought that was even bloody legal.Quote:

I really hope they wrap this story up and her half baked political career soon.

"He controls the heat, I wouldn't have thought that was even bloody legal."
Unfortunately in the US, it is very legal. But there are minimum temperatures that must be maintained. I am lucky though because my landlord isn't a total creep, just cheap!
At one time the electrics were earthed to the copper pipes of the plumbing system . I think this was done in case a live wire came in contact with a copper pipe the charge would go to ground. I am not sure of the science behind this but it is no longer done, or legal to do so. In the cellar in my house there is a metal rod driven into the ground and the electrics are earthed to this. So presumably somehow the pipe had become live because they were installed before the regulations were changed.

is paul investing with ronnie also?
Paul and Ed are not investing anything as far as I understand it. Ronnie's putting the money in and Ed and Paul are doing the work.Quote:

Why is it that in Coronation Street, whenever anyone makes an appointment to see someone, whether it's the doctor, getting married, a relationship counsellor or whoever, they always - always - manage to get a last minute cancellation?
Why did Fiona go along with Tyronne's version that they were having problems before Tyronne got himself another girlfriend ?Quote:

I found the "loved up" Phill's attempts to woo Fiz, so stupid, that he was made into a pathetic fool🥱Quote:

Is this going to be a so-called "witness" to Gary and Kellie being "copped" 👮🏽
I thought they had called the police themselves and gave statements to what happened, (not shown on tv) Kelly's prints would be on the crowbar and I don't think she would have lied, she had no alternative but to whack him over the head.Quote:
