⚡Choose Your Own Electrical Adventure: Will You Survive the Day?

Welcome, brave adventurer! Today, you're tasked with surviving a perfectly normal day at home... armed only with your wits, a questionable understanding of electrics, and the number of a good local sparky (hopefully us). Your choices will determine whether you live to see another cuppa, or whether your house ends up on the news. Choose wisely!

🌟 Scenario One: The Mysterious Spark

You notice a spark behind your TV — just a little one. Barely a flicker. Nothing to worry about... right?

Do you:

• A) Stick a spoon in there to see what's going on.

• B) Turn off the socket and call an electrician.

If you picked A:

⚰️ Congratulations, you've just invented your own fireworks display... inside your living room.Maybe next time, leave the metal cutlery in the drawer, yeah?

If you picked B:

🏆 Smart cookie! You’ve saved your TV, your house, and possibly your eyebrows.Go ahead and reward yourself with a nice, danger-free cuppa.

🔥 Scenario Two: Garden Party Panic

You’re hosting a garden party. You've found a rusty old extension lead in the shed from approximately... the year 2000.

Do you:

• A) Plug it in, hide it under a flowerpot, and hope for the best.

• B) Buy a waterproof, outdoor-rated extension lead and set it up properly.

If you picked A:

🫠 It starts raining. Your rusty extension lead gets wetter than a tea towel in a monsoon.Party guests flee. You invent the world's first electric puddle.

If you picked B:

🎉 Your garden is lit (literally and figuratively), your guests are impressed, and no one leaves with an unwanted tan from a surprise shock.

💡 Scenario Three: The Flickering Light

Your kitchen light has been flickering for weeks. It’s now flashing like a dodgy nightclub and you’re starting to feel slightly seasick every time you make toast.

Do you:

• A) Smack the light fitting with a broom. That usually fixes things, right?

• B) Investigate properly (or get a professional to).

If you picked A:

🔥 Boom! The light fitting crashes down, showering you with ancient dust, shattered plastic, and a surprising number of dead spiders.Bonus: you now have a skylight you didn’t ask for.

If you picked B:

👷 You find out it was just a loose wire — sorted safely without needing a tetanus shot or a new ceiling.

⚡ Final Round: The DIY Power Surge

You've just bought a fancy new fridge, smart TV, air fryer, and hot tub (you know, essentials). You plug everything into the same extension lead.

Do you:

• A) Assume the extension lead can handle it because it’s got plenty of spare plugs.

• B) Check the load rating... and maybe spread things out a bit.

If you picked A:

💣 Your house becomes the set of the next "Shocking Moments" TV special. Bonus points if your extension cord melts into a modern art sculpture.

If you picked B:

🧠 You enjoy all your new gadgets without a surprise visit from the fire brigade. You’re officially smarter than 90% of Pinterest DIYers.

🎉 The End: Did You Survive?
