This was found in a bugalow stuffed in a wall, but to be fair it did have tape around the joints.
This is a classic, but they did use brown sleeve.
Found in a loft, same place as the switch above.
Needed a...

Don't suppose anyone knows how to get rid of that annoying likes icon that's appeared over the short cuts to page numbers in the threads? I'm using I pad and can't jump to any pages, also hat tweets on the left hand side could do with going.
Hi all,
So i was thinking about running a consumer unit from a spur for all the outdoor pond stuff. I wanted to have in there 3 Rcbo's at 6 amp, 1 for the pump, 1 for the led lighting and another for a water feature. None of these go past the 6 amps. They will only be used for this and nothing...

Morning all,
I'm bored, everyone's out and I'm catching up on some bits and bobs!
