Wagos are great but I've heard many people say "they are enclosed so don't need an enclosure". But its better than connector blocks wrapped in tape that used to be the norm before I guess!

Still plenty of it about, earlier this week found this:

Connector blocks wrapped in tape was always the best way for someone to bodge up a job so they could finish early on a Friday (or any other day)

people that don’t care about the quality of their work and are only interested in the payment will always cut corners like that. Wago‘s have just made it a bit easier for that type of person to just “make it work“ so they can go home early

That looks like fp200 fire alarm monkey cable.

12, maybe 24v. Untidy, but dangerous?

At least they used IP rated glands

Galv enclosure and porcelain connectors might be worth investing in. Not much point in using FP cable with joints that'll be gone quicker than the guy who fitted them.

Data monkeys seem to use them for archery practise.

Skipping ropes.

Power to a garage CU, from a plug, using SWA.…

At least they used a RCD socket. I’m guessing the blood on the reset is where they cut a finger on the exposed armour!
