The double had a 1.5 out the back feeding the programmer.

I wonder if it was done like that to make it easy to run the heating off a generator using a longer widow maker cable?

Nice pictures Grant. I've seen the golf tees used in connector blocks before but not seen the other attempts anywhere
 
I started out to uncover the wiring behind plasterboard for a bank of four FCUs on the right connected to an RFC, that had to be removed. Then I discovered a separate circuit just above them, that disappears into the wall.

Puzzled by the two cables crossing under the two above circuits, I removed more plasterboard and uncovered a buried box to the left of the socket (this is a third circuit).
 
This was the (speaker/bell) cable supplying a small class 1 chandelier with 7 x G9 40W lamps in. Not got to the other end of the cable yet as going to have to lift boards upstairs, but expecting some melting. Customer said it stopped working a little while ago, and 230V no longer present. Cct isolated but customer also a bit miffed that I said to use only table lamps til I can get back!

How will it work by changing the screws? Opening the door just slides the plate off the end of the bolt!
put your glasses on and look again
 
It's not a tab welded on, it's the other screw behind it...

Although not great it would probably work.
Assuming the door is hinged then the bolt looks like it would stop the door swinging open, the bolt is straight but the bracket through which it passes will not be moving in a straight line and would hit the bolt.
