I have seen lots of sockets mounted upside down so the plugtop flex isn't squashed
With double sockets you can't really win as some wall-wart power units go up the way to avoid the too-low traditional mounting arrangements.

Singles you can do sideways to work, but really its a nasty legacy of (I presume) avoiding putting sockets in lath and plaster walls and using the board as at least a stable mounting base.
 
That looks like the socket was there first and they've introduced "period" style skirting boards and never thought of the heights.
That almost makes more sense. For a certain definition of "sense".

But if the socket was there first, why so low? The skirting board is only about 20cm high.

Nightmare for dodgy electrical work.
Ring someone different everytime there's a breakdown or they need something changing, usually don't care who it is.
 
Is it just me but i don't see the problem there..
Yeah not too obvious from photo.
Singles in flexible conduit which crosses other conduit, and serious lack of saddles, also 3 routes to same place. 4 circuits running through EM light too.
Basically it couldn’t be tidied up without removing most of it and starting again.

Ahh i see thanks for the heads up, always good to be pointed towards details that most miss.
 
Short of missing a cover, I can’t see much wrong. ?
A sheet full of C3’s but there may be other things lurking behind the cover.

Is that white flex connected?
