    Plug availability behind built in fridge freezer

    Pity the kitchen fitter didn't put the mains skt. in the cupboard below the isolator. That's what I'd have done.

    Right nightmare of a job

    The rust on that one socket is probably due to corrosion from the mastic (assume it's mastic) on the socket surround. The acetic acid cure is not connection friendly.

    Mains cable blown out on two products

    chandalier light goes dim as you add more lamps

    Sounds very dangerous, it seems the fitting is in series with the phase and adding more lamps into the chandelier reduces the resistance and thus the voltage drop across the chandelier so it gets progressively dimmer. Pull up some floorboards to see what's connected where, don't guess.

    Used to happen a lot with candle lamps as there's no room in the small envelope for an internal fuse such as in the standard gls lamp, hence the violent end. The girls in the lamp factory used to call the candle lamps " shooting stars". Merry Christmas. IIRC the tungsten evaporating from the...
