Pub, I think.

Not an alteration as consistent with the rest of the install. Can only think it was a ten to four on a Friday job.

Got a nice shiny NICEIC tested sticker on the DB so must be right.

I live abroad...this is considered normal! When we have heavy rain sometimes these types of connections start to arc, the fireworks are spectacular as the cable often melts.

My own house is connected properly, but still the mains is 4x16mm aluminium single-insulated and I have 4x35mm copper SWA from meter to CU. Thankfully my 17 split ACs are never all on at the same time.

I saw loads of crap like that and worse working in Asia. Are you out there?

This thread has plenty of rats nest's in the photo's, so for a bit of balance...a birds nest...

Is that a Nest thermostat?

Thanks wet pants, cable clipping isn't necessary now.. Oh and thanks for running your waste pipe AROUND my cabling.. Cheers.

I think wet pants suffer from a medical condition known as “cable blindness” resulting in a complete inability to see electrical cables, seems to be spreading as well.....

No mate not cable blindness it's FYJIAR, work it out for yourself, sometimes boarders and Chippies can catch it, but it seems to be virulent in the WetPants community.

public footpath lit by bollard lights. This one obviously failed so big JB instead. No grommets, 2 cables just shoved inside, earths terminated into a choc block outwith the enclosure, and which has split and rusted with weathering, so that one cpc has fallen out and the rest are somewhat compromised. Tidy, eh?

Could’ve done with some saddles on that conduit as well........I mean if anyone slips in that shower thats coming straight of the wall!

Edit. Just been told he wasn’t finished when that picture was taken he assures me he had silicone and on the horse and it’s trunking (self adhesive) not conduit!...apologies there.
