It is often said on here we criticise others work without having the conviction to show our own work. We have Dodgy Trade Pics For Your Enjoyment so let's show the other side. No job too small or to big, before or after let's see 'em. I can change the header if someone can think of a better one. I shall start the ball rolling with this considerable board change I did today:)

Trainee question & probably a silly question but can you explain by any chance what is happening there with the Wago connectors? not sure I have seen that method before in a CU.
The T&E going out the bottom will be a switch drop. The red-sleeved black conductor is the switched live. The Wago links this to the (red conductor of the) T&E going up from the top of the DB, to the light.

Certainly mate, because the CU was in a position almost central between the 2 x 2 way light switches I ran a 3 core and cpc to each switch back to the CU and the same with the T&E looping to the 4 lights. So at the board you connect one 2 way common to the MCB, the other common to the lights line conductor then the 2 x 'L1s' and 'L2s' simply connect together in the CU , it's an old method often used with junction boxes - I hope it makes sense ! :)
 
Shipping container being used as small catering concern at the docks in Bristol. The other pic is the supply in the access aisle behind the unit.

That's a posh container. I take it they're loving the conduit theme. Bonding nipples are good for flex retention out of spout lids I have found.

It is part of what they call Cargo a conglomeration of containers in Bristol docks and most of the units wanted this look for the industrial connotations. It did give me a wry smile when some younger sparks started in a three container concern in galv. and could not complete it as they just could not do it. i.e. they could not feed their wires due to using 90 degree bends and trying to pull too many wires in instead of bending all their corners, so they advised the client they would have to do it in plastic conduit instead.
