Can electricity conduct through a fine spray of water?

Everyone in the UK can accurately tell if something is 50Hz, and also 100Hz. I guess in the good old-fashioned USA, that's 60 and 120.

Give a man 2.54 centimetres and he'll take 1.6 kilometres.

My neighbour (a tradesman) says "mills" to mean millimetres. We're in the UK. Although he's older than me, he didn't realise that means a thousandth of an inch. He meant millimetres. He pointed out a thousandth of an inch is a thou, and when I looked it up, it appears mill is an American thing. You do realise mill is the first part of the word million?

Isn't a decion some kind of field? (Might be Scifi)

Not just my experience, never heard of it on the news either. Have you?

They tell you to in smallprint on the front of them.

I never said it did.

Most likely the health and softy brigade requires they always fail safe. Many devices are designed as such. I have read of electricians calling them "becoming trigger happy", it apparently happens if you run them around full load a lot.

What you could have done is replace the breaker with a fuse. Or you can buy less sensitive breakers.

I can't remember what this is referring to.

I just spilt some water on the side of my stereo while watering a plant, and some got into the vent, and I heard what sounded like a deep thunder roll outside, except it was through the speakers. It seems Panasonics are better made than Sansuis, when I spilt some in the top of one of those, it caught fire! Burning water, damn clever those Chi/Japanese.
