I screenshot a phone photo, then crop out the extra screen… reduces the picture enough to be under the size limit.

Or crop the original.??

Can't really blame the workmanship or materials in this case. On the end of the 4-way extension lead was a small heater, a chest freezer, a fridge and yes, you've guessed it, a tumble dryer. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

I absolutely hate lath & plaster.

Nothing to do with my parents house, my flat, and my sister's house all having the damn stuff and needing odd jobs done over the past few decades
