"Did you get a jolt?"
a what? if u mean electric shock then no, each plug socket has its own isolation power switch which i turn off before removing the plug |

"Ok bit lazy here but that prong is still in the wall socket with the switch off.. will this make it safe enough for me to remove?: "
Personally I would switch the power off at the consumer unit and pull the fuse for that power circuit. |

Just remember, its not the voltage that can kill you, its the Amperage.
Brain death occurs at 100milliamps
Thats 0.1 of an amp, your average plug socket is 30 amp. |

If you're only touching one prong then there's no circuit so it should be safe to remove with the switch turned off. Use a pair of pliars with rubber/plastic grips though, just to be safe. |
