Got to love a ---- house mechanic! Not only did he rip the fuse holder out of the spur completely so the fuse was accessible he then proceeded to put his balanced flue across the front of it! Then he decided to find out how waterproof the electrics were with a loosely fitted compression elbow!:(Dodgy trade pictures for your amusement! - 1 Million Views!

GBDamo...are you suggesting that copper pipes are insufficient to prevent collapse of cables in a fire?
Surely that plumbing would hold the cables up?
Why else would the sparky have left those cables as they are?
LOL!

It's just one of those "where to start" pictures.

It's as if they have read chapter 52 and made a real effort to contravene the lot.

Support, none existant
Separation, a clean sweep.

Was looking for a fault, fortunately it was elsewhere.
 
Got sent these yesterday by the tenant. Refuses to use the off peak storage heaters. Instead they use an old oil filled radiator. They're slowly working their way around the house burning out all the sockets!

Most oil filled rads are only 2kw, wouldn’t expect that to cause issues unless there are other problems like bad plug or sockets been damaged by child proof plug things.

It's either 2 or 2.5kW. I dont really recall it very well as I haven't been in the house for over a year. The issue is they run it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We've seen similar to this with the EV adapters people are using to home charge without a dedicated EV charger unit; where the charger is left on for 8/9 hours per day.
 
#2939: I see the problem.... they’ve had a smart meter fitted.... idiots.

no. It’s the piece of clear polythene being used as some form of IP barrier. If they had used an opaque black sheet of plastic instead, you wouldn’t be able to see the rubbish underneath.
