Discuss Tell us about your faults! in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net

Ok, the earth wires, (sorry circuit protection conductors) should have connectors on them, but other than that, where is the fault? This looks like it was installed in the early seventies, and has been working safely and efficiently since then. remember, 90% of the uk housing stock is wired exactly like this, and they aren't burning down or killing people.
 
Recently been carrying out some emergency light replacments, can you spot the errors?
