Lead, as in a lead sheathed cableNone of that made sense. Can you explain it in lay perspective? I can get better pictures later...today is the day of completion. The photo was taken yesterday when we went to do a final inspection of property.
Prior to this, large wardrobes covered this 'thing' so we did not know it was there.
if you enlarge the OP's pic., the lower half is black. top half looks painted over or in mini trunking.
I can make out metal clips holding it to the wall, and with past experience I would go with lead sheathed.
Old pendant ceiling rose, the white cover should just unscrew to reveal a black base with 3 x brass terminals, with 2 screw connections in each.
Is very likely to be a mains live and neutral feed to a bed headboard light fitting as others have suggested. Probably wont have a cpc in there.
I hope you bought this property to do it up. If this is what the rest of the electrics are like, God knows what else you'll find.
Post anything strange or unusual here. We all like a good laugh.
All I can smell from my sofa is the farmers spreading chicken sh*t on their fields, makes yer eyes waterT.R.S. for sure I can smell it from my Sofa defo T.R.S.
At the moment I can smell Chicken Jalfrezi, being prepared by my Good Lady Wife, mind you when you think about it Curry and Chicken Sh-t has a similarity, until you eat it that is.All I can smell from my sofa is the farmers spreading chicken sh*t on their fields, makes yer eyes water
I believe putting ze shiten on ze field is quite common in Germany as well.Little known fact. Farmers also use human manure on fields but only if the product produced goes to animal feeds, in Northamptonshire they grow a lot of broad beans which go to animal feed and across the country you see sweet corn or maize grown which will also go to animal feed as the climate in this country does not really produce good edible sweet corn. So next time you are walking in the country be aware of what grows around you. So from a 1960s cable to human manure in 22 posts.
I've had a few Jalfrezis in my time Pete but I've not sampled Chicken ---- yet so I will take your word for it.At the moment I can smell Chicken Jalfrezi, being prepared by my Good Lady Wife, mind you when you think about it Curry and Chicken Sh-t has a similarity, until you eat it that is.

About five years ago my other half went to see the farmer down the road for some manure, no problem the old boy said I will drop a load round tomorrow. Next day we are coming back from a walk when in the distance we see a tractor with a rather large trailer of sh*te on it, before we could put two and two together and get there to stop him up went the trailer and out it came, the biggest pile you have ever seen.
I always find you got to be careful with the ginger, too much and it can be overpowering? I assume you mean root ginger, in the paste? I love a nice lamb curry, neck fillet is best I reckon.I'm having curry for tea tonight. Not sure which model it will be, except it will be spicy hot, with lashings of ginger, but cooked by me.
Still think it's grey!
Yes probably about 04:30 when someone is having a ring stinger after all that curry, it will come to them when the burning subsides,I always find you got to be careful with the ginger, too much and it can be overpowering?

Do you think we will ever find out about this cable?
Just done ribeye steak cooked in Sichuan pepper and Chinese five spice then laid to rest on a bed of garlic, ginger and chilli with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on it. All mopped up with homemade chips!!!
What wire.That 'wire' is an old one connected into the upstairs lighting circuit and should be easy for a competent electrician to disconnect and remove safely. I had fish and chips for tea, lovely.
What wire.
No wasn't getting at that was just jesting the thread has gone so far off topic I had forgotten what it was about in the first place.Yes I know it's cable, just quoting the thread title you see.
FP200.View attachment 37894 It's the taste I like. I'm bored with this thread now so let's introduce a challenging new twist. Identify the house from the 'wire' pictured.
Ah yes jumped the gun, definitely not my place as all my recent alterations are in black and red.No no no you haven't read the question, stand in the corner !
