Another lovely job

Just watched this and I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not by calling it a lovely job!

I've never worked on one of those mantell boxes but it looks like this one clears the wall by a decent distance. I'm sure the metal they're made of is quite thick, but I would have at least tried to drill a 20mm hole in the mantell box and run the spur from the CU. It would have kept the wiring solely in the cupboard and I can't imagine it would have taken longer than it took Del to convert that 1 gang socket to surface and run all that horrible trunking.

I don't want to knock Del because he's a nice bloke and he's putting his work out there, but I think this one is a bit of a crap job and not his finest.
