There was no colour code on the socket for bare copper, that was the closest thing

No, In an old Sunday school which was being used as a Church at the time. Nobody there could explain how they got like that, funny that!
Four of them were on a back wall and I suspect they had built a stage or similar up against it at some point and the damage was done then.
The first picture was of a socket feeding a coffee machine.

You recommending metal clad sockets then? And mounted higher maybe.

You would have thought so but was told to replace like for like as it was having a change of occupancy and possibly use.

Is there anyone left alive?

Asked to quote to install a shower circuit for a replacement that had been fitted by wetpants. The house is lived in by a vulnerable person who has 24 hour carers.

The shaver socket is mounted above the sink so wet hands could plug in toothbrush, shaver etc and that cable hanging out the side is live.

The 230v fan 10cm above the max shower head height is 2m from the floor so in zone 1, it's IP24
