Another periodic inspection from hell, the date on the photo says 2011 so a few years ago. The first signs of problems was when I was unplugging things to start dead testing. I got quite a whack from the pins of a plug. Hmm, the appliance must have a large cap across the supply or something. Or perhaps full mains.

Turned out the tenant liked wiring lights by connecting the load to the back of a socket and then powering it with a plug, the switch on the reverse fed socket acted as the light switch. What a dick head. He wouldn't let me confiscate the dangerous leads but I did get him to dismantle them before I left, there were 2 young children running about there.

Everything was wired with flex, mostly 2 core, the 3 flexes here feed a socket and 2 wall lights.

Another p|ss poor effort in another room, this went through the wall to a shed, was joined via open connector block to some white flex, joined with a joint box with no lid to some black flex then joined directly to the flex of a chest freezer by twisting and taping. I stuck a plug on the freezer and got them to use an extension lead until proper wiring was installed.
