Not me! The circuit is redundant and the cables were cut off at each end but left in the trunking. The wire was damaged and the copper is almost blown through, I wonder if it was run like that. Someone else had removed the soot mark from the cable.
 
Testing today with Wanda, I found a light with no cpc. Then the fun to find the problem - cpc at the CU and in the light and in the switch, but not joined up - must be a dodgy jb I thought. Found an ugly one, but not the problem. Isolated it down to the 5m cable run up to the light so I just replaced it. Stripped the old cable and found missing section of cpc ... a new one for me :)

That's a novel one, well found buddy :thumbsup:
 
Every tool or bit of kit needs a name,when my youngest son used to help me long before starting his apprenticeship maybe on a Saturday morning for an hour or two[probably around 10-12 years old at the time] I'd give the tools a name to aid recognition, the bradawl to this day is Bradley Wiggins then we have Paddy the padsaw, Percy the pliers and my favourite MC Hammer to name just a few. :D
 
Bet that smelt lovely when it went :eek::)

What's with the fuse wire Tel ?, Do it right & use some fence wire :p:D
if it was on a farm, then both are the same thing.
