Yes the other cable has been pulled back up in the trunking, why the other 2 couldn't have done the same as they all came down in it!
It was one of those jobs you wish you could unsee!!

Been asked to sort this lot out at a well known uni. Data engineer got a shock pulling new cables in. All singles just in trunking. No lid.

@ChrisElectrical88
The main tails used to come into the lower right hand old wylex, they have been pulled out and put in Henleys then to the new main switch, then out to more henley blocks and then to their respective final con units!

Some workmen outside my apartment in downtown Baku, Azerbaijan - just inside the door I found their power tool was connected like this...

Whats wrong with that? Once we’ve left the EU all this health and safety rubbish will be out the window and we can go back to all that make do and mend stuff. The British empire was built on innovative solutions like that. What do you think a Royal Engineer would do if he didn’t have a 13amp plug for the laser guided missile he was installing ... and sod part P?

It's why I do my own electrical work...they'd wire up the whole house like this, given the opportunity!

I installed the mains supply and isolator for a future fire alarm system. We recently went back to the location to see the fire alarm system had been fitted. Thank god the system was wireless. Don't know why I bothered measuring the fixings, neatly dressing the cable and making sure all the slots in the brass screws were at the same angle.

Seems they needed a repeater, cables lashed into the nearest socket circuit.

Geez... It’s really not hard is it? Some people give me the shits. Can’t take the time to adequately measure a few Double P clips.

Radial circuit making beeping noises. It didn't do it again after it stopped...

3ph service head in clients "storage cupboard" a few months ago... Yup 415 between those exposed conductors.

Its UKPN here so hopefully by the year 2055 they'll send someone out with a tube of superglue to "fix" it, in the meantime I've asked him to maybe not clout the cupboard contents of his metal handled mop, clothes airer etc etc etc into it

Here is a blast from the past!

A bit of light reading?
Found today and disconnected it! Book case will have a new 4mm back put in to hide the hole.

Creative wiring, the switch was on the landing, the trailing socket in the roofspace above feeding a CO alarm.

I don't think I've posted these before...
