Crikey Pete I thought you were on about my Wife, her name is Patricia.Don't complain...it keeps you in beer tokens!
On the landing of our house, the previous people stuck a nail about 12" directly above a light switch..Luckily it is patrician wall and the T&E wasn't hanging dead vertical otherwise they would have nailed it!
Looks like the electrician stripping those cables had a bit of a mishap with the red conductor, more than likely he was using a Stanley type knife.Try this one on for size ... View attachment 40551 ... screw in 'free' space, not fixing anything, ~ 15 - 20 mm from the edge of the edge of the back box hole and roughly vertically in line with where the cable sheath and conductor insulation has been breached! Lath and screw 'plastered' over with 'new' white plaster ... certainly not the original lime plaster!View attachment 40552
... and then there is the 'stripping' damage to the insulation on the other side of the Line conductor! If I remember correctly that was the 'load' cable. It was not connected to anything ... but the 'supply' cable was connected to a MCB @ the Distribution Board.
