Only if you're a wimp :-)

Worked for BT for five years installing lines, both underground feeds
and from poles. Had several "tingles" whilst installing - never hurt :-)

The only time I did think "Bu**er that stung" was whilst fitting a party
line filter up a pole in the pouring rain... wet fingers and electricity
don't mix !! -
