When I was in spain last year I was browsing a shop, Anyways I had to take a step back to let someone past and whacked my elbow off something hard and sharp.
Imagine my surprise/shock when I turned round to see this!

The worst of it all was on the left you can see a rack for crisps and just off the pic to the right was a rack for kiddies sweets!
Oh and it was only about 3ft off the ground.....

That's quite a tidy looking job.
It would be a shame to hide it behind a cover .............
Damn thats where ive been going wrong all these years....
Explains why nobody ever appreciates the great lengths I go to keeping the inside of my DB's neat and tidy when I install em.....
Ah well I know what to do now haha

I can beat that went to a shop where lighting kept tripping was wired to 16th so no rcd cover took a while but eventually found a similar metal crisp box stand for customers and kids alike to pick out at but the frame was live and was only fitted a week earlier 'coincidence'! NOT!!!! it had been screwed in the corner of 2 walls straight through a lighting cable ... cable well within zone... can't figure how no-one get a belt :whatchutalkingaboutAhhhh thats a great cover!

This is a good example for why fitting RCDs on all circuits buried in wall is a good idea

But do they work....
Dont know if they had even been tested seen as the sticker that you would normally write it on would of been on the missing cover LOL
In retrospect maybe I should of jabbed a pinky in and got some compo?

Anything with C50’s in wants scrapping. The MCB’s are magnetic hydraulic, about as sensitive as a brick.
And how many schools still have them.... There must be 30 of them in the school I was working at today.

As a brick ..... surprised you didn't just put your name lol .... as you been the most sensitive member on this forum
