Haven't read whole thread but modern sockets are safe enough imo. Covers ok in 60's 70's non-gated sockets. I had friends who stuck wires in the old 2 pin sockets and survived. Big spark/flash at worst when both pins short cct-ed but not earthed thro or across themselves. Old wiring is more dangerous than boys with screwdrivers;-) Old wires start Fires....
