 Copper thefts - Iffy
...Uncle's washing machine had a fried main board, and he has lost a DECT phone. Others have not been so lucky, with sockets being blown out of walls...

That's a bit worrying.

Could have started a fire, particularly if something combustible had been left near the exploding appliance/socket.

It's easily done, my washing machine is in an alcove near the back door, and I often leave bits and pieces on top of it as I'm on my way out or in.

And many people have a pad of paper next to their phone.
