LOL; try telling me something I don't know :)
(I'm sticking to my original "oh dear" comment).

It's not clear what you meant by "oh dear". There are many possibilities.
One is that a "low voltage" can still kill someone.
In my job I fix live overhead.

I'm not intending on starting a pissing session I'm just suggesting that (despite being technically correct) describing a single phase household supply as low voltage on a forum frequented by enthusiastic DIY armatures is asking for a disaster.

Why didn't you just say that then?

I thought it was pretty obvious!
(No offence intended mate, I suspect we are both on the same page re safety).

Got a link to some of these stories?

You'd need to go to the PGDB website and read some of their "Infobrief" newsletters:

Feb issue:
"Glen Harley has been convicted and fined $1,275 plus court costs and solicitor??

Had a read of the link; thanks for posting it by the way, I've saved the site in my favourites.
Just thought I'd point out that the examples were people convicted ( quite rightly so) of misrepresentation of trade status, i.e. they were masquerading as qualified, registered plumbers.
