I suppose the other option if using swa single phase is to buy it the with the brown, blue, green/yellow colours.

I keep asking my boss to buy single phase three core but it almost always arrives three phase colours.
I don't have time to send it back so have to have Good stock of sleaves

This tickled me. I was called because the original guy abandoned the job and has made up endless excuses not to return.
You can imagine it unfold - aargh a joist. Never mind I’ve got a genius idea. Just put the the front on. Ah……

Wonder how he intended to screw the socket face down.

I’m assuming that is why he stopped and ran.

Don't bother with sleeving, just paint it

I remember a few years ago after dropping a light switch and seeing the black S/L with about 2 inches of red on the end and thinking that looks very neat as the sleeve was the same diameter as the black.
It was only when I started to push the switch back on and saw the copper exposed between the sleeve that i realised what they had done.

About 20 light switches had to come off to be sorted.

Indeed, but it's not always possible to do so.

I think so as well, especially as this one was with it

Seen a few like that on table lights and wall lights after an attempt to change a lamp.

 

[littlespark]

A 5A fuse for a lamp? That’s just terrible!

You’re onto a winner today with that lot.

You’re onto a winner today with that lot.

What’s more amazing is the customer is adamant it’s not DIY. He had another electrician in who left the job half way through and hasn’t been back in touch. I’m guessing he’s fell out with ‘Dave from the pub’.

I’ve disconnected the lot. Initially he was a bit miffed I’d disconnected it all. But I said that’s what needed to be done as it’s not safe. Explained to him a few options of how it can be resolved and he’s asked for a quote and when I have availability.
