Yes, that is correct. Thats what happen.
Discuss I got an electric shock in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
UPDATEHi, changed a bathroom extractor fan. Easy enough.
I was dealing with a grey, black, brown and earth wire.
When i tested the black wire, which i believe is neutral, with a electrical tester screwdriver which i poked into the connection I got a electric shock.
Weird. as soon as i touched the metal shower frame i got a shock. Not sure why. Can someone please explain. The earth was live too and not connected.
Thanks for the update.
We were beginning to think you had some serious problems with a live shower screen frame…
You might want to get your electrician there to check the rest of the property… not having connected earths does not bode well for the rest of the house
Your not gonna believe this. Last year or was it early this year .. i got a 5 year Eicr certificate for the same premises. How on earth did they miss that poor wiring. If I report them they could get taken off the register.Thanks for the update.

The electrical screw drivers testers should be outlawed. I agree with all the replies and throw your tester in the trash, they are dangerous.Hi, changed a bathroom extractor fan. Easy enough.
