As I was being ushered out of the door after a brief pre-work visit I saw that the incoming neutral goes into a Henly block with an Earthing cable sticking out of it. The earthing cable was 10mm and it was just snipped off and had been left there. The CU was changed in 2012.

I have 2 questions, I have never seen a TNCS where the main earth is just attached to the neutral through a Henly block, would this have been ok as it is not in one of the recognised DNO cut outs as I have always seen before?

Also, the incoming line and neutral cables are seperate. The line goes through the cut out and the neutral into a Henly block. There is no sign of any other earthing cable , does this mean that it HAS to be a TT? I'm sure I'll be getting the work so will be investigating but was interested!
 
Nice to see the main fuse properly sealed :D
BTW, what is teh sealed fuse in teh bottom of the picture for?

HSE say you do not work on live so in order to comply you remove the main fuse, after all you are fully qualified certificated electrician and if you need to cut the seal to maintain your safety what court of law is going to convict you?
In the past for meters we had gas board, electric board and water board now days you have Eon, Edf etc etc none of whom give the slightest interest all they want is the money from the sale,
