I think I need new glasses. I hurriedly read your post as "grabbing a
13-amp plug", and wondered what that was doing in the garden. But I
reckon the shock from grabbing that would be far less than what you'd
experienced! Slugs really are disgusting creatures.

It's all a matter of perception really, and I share the revulsion of others.
But I do wonder what our reaction would be if slugs could sing!

Sheer terror. It's bad enough that they're slithering round creating
silent havoc. Noisy havoc would be beyond reason.
