Here are some that I've come across, thought I would post them up so we can have a laugh

EICR that took two days and they missed this

[ElectriciansForums.net] Funny Electrical Photo's

and this

and this one is just brilliant! This is a sports hall with kids playing football in it every week, and yes they are all LIVE!!!

Internal floodlights were tripping the MCB's so an "electrician" came around and fixed them (see below ffs)

All now fixed, new floodlights on a new shiny RCD DB and metal sockets.

Next is the DIYer's attempts:-

Hoover tripped the socket but not the rest of the sockets??? Floorboards up and found this lol.

RFC into back of a single brass socket, T&E on a plug top feeding a db socket in the hallway. The 3A fuse blow!

"Well it said waterproof of the label when I bought it from a shed." Good effort but FAIL

I kid you not, there was a family of snails living in that lol.

Should have mentioned, 4 x 10 way DB's next to each other splitting the load. Two bank of floods were tripping on 2 DB's. Same sparky that "fixed it"!

Playing with a few singles:-

It took me ages to get them 185mm singles nice and straight, gaffer put a laser level on them afterwards and they were spot on. Biggest I've ever played with btw and proud of the end result.
