0.5mm stranded flex wrapped around the central heating pipes. It's part of the downstairs light loop above the kitchen which has been modified somewhat then just taped up and left. Needless to say it is much safer now.
Gives me an excuse to the the bedroom floor now and have a look, might as well fit some downlighters in the kitchen whilst I'm there as 'I don't know what the rest of the circuit is like dear wife!!!'. I knew I could get rid of the crappy mini GU10 light bar we have...
