Because they’ve been cleaned but the switch left to be changed - it was the tidying up of a flat in the same house that I was sorting a lighting problem so I was having a look around - invited of course!

How much money would you need to scrape your nails down that switch goo!
Would you do it for a cuddle?

I should have said that it was the 2019 range from BG Nexus it’s called ‘Chinese kitchen’!
Apologies to BG if you are listening - love your unswitched sockets!

What really annoys me about that is the plumber could easily have done that neatly, avoiding the socket. It's not difficult, ffs...
Clearly, if he couldn't be bothered to check if the socket was in use, and anyway just went ahead and fitted his pipes, badly, he should be sacked.
"Push-fits" do not a plumber make".
That picture has actually made me very angry!

What did he plug his Makita radio into if he covered that socket?
I’m baffled - perhaps he worked in silence and that’s what made him unbalanced and unlevelled!

Agree with all that barring the pushfit comment.

Like most employees you use what your given, pretty much every new build of the last twenty years are push fit, mine is and it's still fine.

Don't get me wrong I love copper and when done properly looks much better but will it last longer? If it's all hurried in walls what does it matter anyhow?

Now it constantly irks me to see plastic pipes coming out of walls into rads, it looks shocking. Even if using push fit I always used to come through the wall/floor in 15mm copper.

TV distribution in a block of flats. The green and yellow wire was left by the aerial installer for us to connect to the main earth terminal.
