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

In a lovely old pump room [may share photos in another post if anyones interested as it's generally in excellent condition]. Lighting still wired in VIR singles. More recently someone has spliced in with harmonised singles to supply a row of T5 flourescents in an adjacent building...see the crushed and sweaty looking VIR neutrals below.

Saw a load of old conduit wiring and thought oh no rubber. It turned out to be fabric covered plastic insulation. The telephone cables hacked into the box and the earth tapped off of the lid screw were less positive. Insulation and earth loop readings were excellent throughout the installation.

When you have to call a gas engineer to an electrical fault???

DPG · Oct 24, 2019

Do you reckon someone's done that as a DIY meter move? Can see the gas board doing that.

Nope.
When I left today at about 3 o'clock, I told the householder to call British Gas and report it. It was changed a couple of years ago.
Got a call at 5.00.....they were on site changing it. What a response!
Only problem now is a L-E short on the shower circuit. That lot's low down in a kitchen corner unit

Another bit of a job helping someone out.

Pete, your post has been edited as we are stamping out the pointing of fingers towards people that take the short course route into the industry.
