I reckon someone has seen that done in the back of a light switch and thought it was the way to go.


Yep my exacto mundo thoughts too Andy!

Or maybe they thought it was a special metal plastic alloy compound!!
 
Not a notice I would have displayed in a shop….lol.

Photo-0021 (2).jpgResponded to a call out to replace the usual broken pendant and glossed over light switch at a tenants property. Went to knock power off to find the main RCCB switch was already in the "off" position. That's odd I thought. Anyway on removal of the lid I was confronted with this delight!
Spoke to the tenant to find out if anyone had been tinkering. Apparently a few "months" earlier they had contacted the out of hours emergency electricians to restore their power. This crew were from the main contractor that service all the council properties in the city. To bypass a main switch is one thing but to connect the mains directly to an out going shower circuit is quite another. No one was scheduled to come back and rectify it either, as far as I was aware.
