*socket fitted upside down (don't know why, no logic to it, just a random socket on upside down!)

australian electrician?

I have an upside down socket. Wall mounted computer monitor, cable to short to reach underneath. Decided to turn the socket round rather than rewire the monitor. Seemed easier and it's only me going near it.

I had an upside down socket in my living room, was done that way I presume because the previous owner changed the faceplates and the cables wouldn't reach the terminals on the new socket unless upside down!

Live or exposed cable. C1 Had to disconnect bare wires on bondage set up in "play room" due to risk of electric shock. Also extraneous metal parts exacerbating the situation. Tried it didn't like it. Needs isolating transformer.

I'm told with rubber pants it's better ...

just remembered a church eicr from years ago, right at the front where the chap with the white collar mills about there was a wall light that connected into a 5amp plug at lower level, the plug was in and switched on, no backplate on the plug though.

same job had insufficient earthing for mains water/gas, refused to go under the church floor to run those cables, labourer got that amazing job, them church lot are known for burying secrets below ground.

we also inspected the organ, after clambering all over it lol, probably put it out of tune, big 3 storey type of organ.

Sorting some lights in a fish tank at a local aquarium when I saw this sign as I climbed into the top of the tank.
