No 2. Just fixed the next door neighbours hedge trimmers after he cut
through the flex.
Me "These look brand new and as if they have never cut a hedge in their
life"
Ray "They haven't, I bought it yesterday and plugged it in a kitchen
socket to see if it worked. I just forgot to remove the flex that was
wrapped around the blade before I switched it on."
A link on the same page as No 1 - a faulty floodlight on a Council pitch
that killed someone having already caused shocks to users over a month
before. Strangely the inquest recorded it as accidental rather than
culpable homicide.

I suspect would depend if the council could reasonably be expected to
have know about it. Would it come under any mandatory inspection regime?
