Oh got the call, my Mcb keeps blowing. Went to his house. Asked have you made any alterations to your house lately, like pictures on the wall, or things screwed to the wall. He informed me a electrician changed the sockets in his extention. I have no idea how he left without noticing. Lol

Got called out because customer couldn't reset RCD after attempting to put up shelving.

6 months earlier I was called to the same fault at the same house.

Would love to see a follow up photo once shelving is done....could be a work of art...

No pics but my favourite ever diagonal run was up a flight of stairs, not close to the strings just straight switch to switch....fella put 5 pics up for his Mrs and hit it every single time ?

Mine was an old cooker hood I took down. Supply had been taken diagonally from a socket above worktop.
Whoever put the old hood up managed to drill through the cpc of a t&e... the rawl plug acted as an isolator between the L and N which hadn’t been cut.
Hood worked, just never been earthed.
