In the case of AC electricity, its not as simple as being on or off, its has characteristics that makes it what is. Its an alternating current, which numerous processes before it enters a UK home. Most people see electricity as power, that comes from a power station, and then out of the socket on the wall. Its voltage is stepped up to thousands of volts, then its stepped down, its a complicated energy source.
Lister proved there was things called bacteria.
In electricity we have transients, and they can cover wide frequency spectrum. In electronics, electronic devices communicate digital information is 1's or 0's, which is coding for information like audio, pictures and signals that make it possible to use the phones camera to take picture. The human body has it own electronic signals which run in milli volt level. Are brains has different parts that intercommunicate particular frequencies. Its known the transients can be on the electrical wiring, its called EMI Electromagnetic Interference.
Another issue that is more modern is the switching power supplies or digital power supplies that have become more common in the last 4o years. Before we all had big linear transformers in our devices, tv's, radio's, video machines, which dropped down the voltages. They were more expensive to make, were heavier and larger. There is no way you would have a linear transformer in a flat screen tv, it would have to be in a box connected to the tv and the mains. These new switching power supplies generate power by switching coil known as an inductor on and off 10,000 times per second, and because the coil resists, it allows more current to be generated than it takes from the mains. Switching power supplies make it possible for 1000w psu to sit inside a computer, or small light power supplies inside small devices like flat screen tvs.
The problem is that these devices have to have well made EMI filter circuits to stop the switching transients generated in the power supply proccess, from interfering with the device its powering, such as a tv showing interfence on the screen, or sound interference on an audio device. These electronics we use in our houses which we buy cheaply from china though a middle man, are not always working correctly, and while the device can be functioning, for instance the device turns on and shows life, or a mains light running as if it was fine, it can be generated large amounts of transients on to the mains. In some cases the switching power supply can be generating more power than its using, and returns that back to the grid creating an imbalance.
===================
We are only discussing something, i would hope no one thinks this is alarmist attempt to have people change their lives instantly, because its not. I am trying to see if something is wrong with my mains wiring, nothing more, nothing less. No statements about why its not working only, an open minded attempt to establish normal working characterises. There is some areas that are not quite correct from an electrical installation point of view, I would like to document what they are, and see if they make any noticeable difference when changed, and record the results. If the change makes a difference, then maybe it can be tried again in another situation, but i think we are jumping the gun for the moment.
As far the point of lister.
If someone deactivates a device, equipment, process or just changes the way we carry out a procedure, for instance washing hands before eating or Doctor carrying out a medical procedure, and that stops or changes the out come, and it replicated again in similar situations, then you have an outcome.
The machine being stopped or started is one outcome, the phone being turned on or off. Throwing a phone on the floor and breaking its screen. Washing hands to reduce the potential for bacteria to enter the body through the mouth or nose. The doctor washing their hands to reduce the chance of bacteria entering a wound or coming in to contact with a patients blood, of course with medical gloves the risk is greater reduced.
When i turn the ring main on a change is made, when its turn off the change is gone. No one is saying what it is, because that is the casual interest. Why is there a change, is it an unusual change, is it the same in other houses, in other areas. How many people do you know who switch off their ring mains, other than when they need to have electrical work carried out?
We know now that bacteria lives on the hands, and that washing the hands with a cleaning agent for the hands reduces the amounts of bacteria, which reduces the amount that would potential invade the body, giving the person an upset stomach or a cold sickness. We take that for granted now, because its so simple to prove, and so well documented. Sadly many people have started to forget about washing their hands, and wonder they they get sick more, and how to fix or reduce the risk.
I have made a simple test, i turned the ring main off, the problem faded away. I turn it back on the problem returns quickly. Why? Thats the question. Lister concluded with research in to bacteria, and showed why. If someone understands why, everything makes sense.
Electricity is more complicated that people care to think about. I would not be surprised if people thought exactly the same about the fuel they pump in to their cars or vans. Fuel is not just fuel, it is developed by a particular refining process that creates the end result. If its not right it can cause serious damage to the car, or just fail to work all together.

Points about EMF
The point about the EMF debate that. Dr George Carlo, was employed and funded to research the effects of mobile phones on the human body, he was employed by the mobile phone industry to perform first large scale research, and his team has found that the way the cells communicate is impacted by alien signals entering the body.

Check out this video you can see their growing information about emf, its not ELF which what we are talking about as much, but the doctor shows a patient reacting to the presence of an electrical device.
