Here we go again, fault finding turned up quite a find. Located behind the dishwasher and plastered into the wall. Someone had fired a tck straight between the live conductor and cpc. Crap photos I'm afraid.

Yes this is the same property that was missing the 16" of cable that would have completed the 32A protected ring.

Just yesterday I was asked by my neighbour to go to his rental property, where a UK DIY chain are fitting a new kitchen including the electrics.

The installer has said he wouldn't fit a socket within the range of about 1.2 m of the sink on the basis that somebody could have one hand in the sink and the other hand plugging in the kettle.

What tosh!!
