Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.

I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago.

Aside from this cable being just a tad undersized, on a 63A device the connections are somewhat incorrect.

Ttttcch! always the neutral - well sometimes!
The cause of that is the paper left over the pins - a fail with PA testing! It’s the PA testing equivalent of a C1 - serious stuff!

Why are all the sockets and switches mounted sideways?

So rain can drip down cables and run into plug..
(unless the cables are too long and form drip loops)

Ultimately, a tumble drier... but that isn't what the plug was from.

As for your second question... Yes, I would mind, so can you use it? No. The primary reason is I would have no way of controlling how it is used and what kind of spin would be put on it in the context of your intended purpose. There are a multitude of reasons it could have happened and many of them do not implicate the electrician responsible for the work, there were other things going on that did suggest a spark who was a few neurons short of self-awareness had done some work on the install but whether that contributed to the outcome we'll never know.
