Just got called to quote for a new job, and as part of doing so I asked to check the board. This is a Niglon board, fitted by a sparky about 18 months ago. Answers on a postcard if you can spot an issue!! Bonus point if you can guess the four letter word I muttered.

I've never heard of niglon before, but from a lot of pictures I've seen, the main switch is either in the middle or on the left, this one has two, the one on the right, the other is behind my arm in the middle. I'm really baffled as to what's gone on here. I dread to think what I'll find when I take the cover off

As above, can’t see the full horror because your bloomin great mitt hides most.
in addition, it looks like there’s another main switch (the 100A MEM one behind your hand).
it smells of a dual RCD CU where the RCDs were tripping due to who knows what. The “electrician” has just swopped the RCDs for main switches and legged it.

oh and Ps. The earth strap to the front cover is broken.
What a mess.

Back in the 80's we used to get Niglon strip connectors.
