The scariest thing was the huge black spider which had taken up
residence
inside the CU which made me jump more than a jolt from the mains :-)

So you've never touched the mains before then?

When hooking my finger round a plug, touching banjaxed wiring etc. I get a
serious quiver up my arm (no archery jokes please).
This doesn't make me jump much at all - just quiver gently.

Large black spiders, however, do produce large involuntary muscle
contractions and distinct motion in an away direction.
