Not really relevant here, but I'm sure we've all heard of something

"myth busters" for some time now... You might find this amusing..

One that's particularly relevant at this time of the year:

http://www.hse.gov.uk/myth/september.htm

It's one of their older ones. Though I've only just noticed the pun...

There's also http://www.hse.gov.uk/myth/july.htm I've encountered USB
devices, laptops and other devices with external PSUs with PAT testing
lables on. As well as on "wall wart" PSU's where the earth pin is plastic..



Yep, I've seen lots of that. Okay I don't know much about PAT testing but I know that the sealed units don't need testing apart from being checked to make sure they're not damaged, presumably because if they're not sealed they automatically fail.
