damn hot copper and *severe* embarassment seems excessive.

Keen as I am on competent d-i-y'ing unencumbered by trade-body-monopoly
stuff, I do view Live Working as firmly on the *wrong* side of the
have-a-go line, and definitely in the category of "if you have to
ask, you don't have the knowledge to be safe". Asking is good, as it
helps to turn a vague "I wonder if I could get away with..." into a
firm and better-motivated "bloomineckerslike, off to Stores for another
of those Poles, Barge, Wooden, Full-length, Touching, For The Avoidance
Of" implements.

DIY could turn into DOA if you've to make changes to a live mains supply. A
supply without a consumer fuse is a definite "get in touch with the
supplier" scenario to me. I too, like Stefek, would get a big long barge
pole.
