So, I arrive at terrace to fix some crook bathroom lights, 6 installed and 1 still works. Waste not, want not, I guess. Owner says new CU been fitted, goan show us I say.

Well, not the worst sight I've seen in an electrics cupboard. Then I flip the lid up and now I'm thinking the Last Fellow might've had a few sneaky sips while he worked .

Are you just showing this install? or is there a question you want answered?

Probably just showing it considering that's the whole point of this thread

This is the sort of thing that I used to come across at the previous company that I was a Q.S. for. It was for power for outside lighting I guess Christmas tree, should have been drainage and electrician disconnected the earth. But Ant better sign the cert off as he got to move in I can still feel the barrel of the gun to the back of my head anyway best thing I did was putting in my notice.

Even for Northampton (and I'm a Lings lad) that makes no sense. Guess you went to Weston Favell. You're not the guy we taped naked to a tree are you!!

Definitely not never been taped naked to a tree. The socket is at a big one-off house in Leicestershire. I live on Thorplands and I went to Lings Upper.

Was the armour glanded and earthed at the other end?

 

[DPG]

The stuffing gland doesn't even look to be fitted to the cabinet properly.

 

[SparkySy]

Looks like a 20mm stuffing gland in a 25mm hole as well nice!!
