Hrrrmmm, done that to my outside light for a couple of courses, in the safe zone though

Safe Zones outside?

That was put in when "pac man" was a spark - he never could keep a straight line or stop eating!

Safe Zones outside?

No, it was inside safe zones outside

Been doing some DIY at home on my week off, found 2 of these after removing a section of ceiling. Not entirely the boarders fault, the thick electrician has drilled all the holes at the bottom of all the joists...

Why not Pete outside light creates one outside? Building inspectors just looked at one I did that's going to be rendered over, never said anything.

And the even thicker boarder has shoved the screw straight through it, would still have hit the cable even if it had been higher. Some of these other "trades" just go hell for leather like maniacs.

This is what happenes when our company decides to put 16A plugs on a 32A TIG plant.

It's makes unplugging ones welding plant quite difficult!

Looks like another case of "get it working no matter what"

Main Neutral Heated to the point consumer unit was smoking and the cable had been completely disconnected from the part in the terminal block.

I wonder if it had become loose or a high resistance developed in the main switch and got worse as it will, nasty !
Those old MEM boards were usually ok.
