Upstairs flat, or next door neighbour?I do wonder, where the grey tails (top left) are going. I didn't stay long enough to ask!
Looped supply.

aren't all supplies "potentially" free if no one comes to check the meter?

Well this is how my afternoon went. Oops.
At least I only hit 4 out of the 5 cables...
I'm definitely not going to post a photo of the temporary repair.

No these are fire alarm cables.
We called out the fire alarm company who have the maintenance contract for this system, but the chap they sent out had never worked with MICC before so I had to do something to get it going again while they send someone else out tomorrow to rewire the damaged bits. My MI tools are at home so had to strip it with side cutters in the traditional way.
I do secretly like working with MI, the last repair I did involved silver soldering a patch over a nicked sheath.

Sort of thing that always seems to happen to me on a Friday afternoon!
All the wiring here is all over the place, the cables are not near anything or in any zone, not that that maters with MI. Here is some conduit from the same place, was buried in the wall. Twin cables in one end singles out the other, inline crimps inside the conduit.
And why bother un-plugging the Klik plug in ceiling rose when you can tape up the end of the live flex and stuff it in the void.

I'm installing a bit later this week to bypass a faulty section of fire alarm cable, if there's time I can try and get some pics and write something about it if anyone is interested.
EICR. After completely failing to identify this circuit, something occurred to me.
I was right. (Breaker is off)
Both ends of a former ring in different breakers.

Both ends of a ring in different MCBs. One was a B16 other was a B20.
Obviously trying to identify it by turning one off at a time was getting nowhere!
