Help needed to review quality of distributer box installation

[Isaac k]

Hi everyone,

I just had my distributer box upgraded to an RCD box, and I was wondering if anyone could advise me on the quality of the work done here. I know that changing these boxes is a nightmare to do, and truth be told our wiring was a mess before, but for the price we payed I don't believe there should be electrical tape and exposed wires coming out of the box. Also you can see the housing for the old night electricity box which they have decided to leave and they also chose not to cover the channel with all the exposed wires. I'm just curious to see what this forum's take is on this work, and if it was worth the £700 I payed for it.

Thanks!

(This is my first post, so if I am in the wrong category I apologise)

I’m not going to lie I had to google what the h**l a Sassenach was

On my first trip to Scotland I felt pretty confident we spoke the same language and had the same currency etc.. until I hit the tolls on the forth road bridge and the lady in the booth had an accent so thick she may as well have been speaking in hedgehog talk for I could dechipher. I held out a trembling handful of dirty English money as I had no idea what she had asked for. Then got to site, visited the loo and found grafitti inside from the Scottish contractors telling the English they weren't welcome, and on each second line a reply from the English explaining why they didn't want to be there. The exchange of insults only finished after a day or two as the door ran out of space!! I swear some guys must have been on the floor of that cubicle to get the last come back in

But on site, everyone was supportive and helpful. I like a bit of nieghbourly competition

Sassenach is a term for an English person. But as I'm politically-incorrect and posting on a forum where English bed-wetting types refer to we Scots as "Jocks" and "sweatys", then I it's fair game for sweaty Jocks to refer to English bed-wetting types as Sassenachs.

I draw the line at waving my private parts at their aunties though.

Is it supposed to do something? I've been cutting it off and taking down scrap yard for years get a bit more for the one that goes between the meter and consumer unit.

That's the smart money, if someone's connected the earth to the meter it probably is redundant so the drinks are on you!

My friend is doing a university dissertation on the subject of electrical safety , will include stuff like Will AFDDs help reduce fires / would or should they be retrofitted / should domestic properties need a EICR every 5 or 10 years same as rented properties ( in Scotland any rented property needs landlord certs max 5 years ) will also be about appliance fires eg chargers from China that cost £1.99 , would members of forum be willing to fill out a questionnaire?

Where do you come up with

Thats pretty funny considering i never done the electrical work it was plumbing work and where do you come up with ripping people off ?Also bringing what trade down the best thing for you to do is crawl back under that rock from which you came as you obviously never read what i wrote properly

I can't find anything that you have written properly, since your spelling, grammar, punctuation and diction all need a great deal of improvement.
