Can't you kind of jump into mid air just at the moment you throw the switch? erm Or would you end up with little lightning sparks between your feet and the carpets? erm might be cool to try though biggrin boing

Recently, I have been getting shocks off just one door at the police station that I visit at work every day. This is new, and I don't THINK that anything has changed round there. I sometimes wait for someone else to walk along the corridor and then slip through the door after them.

It has a carpet one side and a hard floor the other. I only get a shock on the carpet side.

If anybody ever sees me working up to opening the door and getting a shock I will be carted off by my colleagues.

We used to have a car like this - I would hover for ages trying to make everyone else shut the doors before it was me. Pushing it to, by the glass made some difference - is there a panel on the door in question Mr PP?

I get them all the time in Tesco in Stockport, in the clothing section. No one else seems at all bothered by them. Most bizarre.
