" Its safe cause it works mate i know what im doing".....
Ok...

If he wasn't happy with you ripping it out then who gave you permission to remove it?

Quite simply his landlord.... my employer sends me in and if they wire in any electrics from ours then it gets disconnected.

So ‘yours’ was the old blue painted stuff in the old colours and he’s added the new bit of T&E that can be seen coming out of the choc block? Is this a new landlord?

Who’s is the double socket?

Has my dad got a secret second house somewhere because that’s the kind of thing he would do? I remember watching him cut an earth wire out on a metal light fitting because “it doesn’t need it, it works anyway”.

hang. On a minute and the land lord told you to disconnect it ,so he must have had the house before he put a tenent in knowing the electrics were dodgy
and he wants you to sort it out .

Social housing. Tenant has been there 30 odd years. Our electrics were inside the house not in any of the pics obviously. I do the periodics and if any tenants add their own work and connect into our electrics without permission, done by us or a registered spark then it gets pulled out.

Can't believe the tenant has cut into the landlord's wiring and stuck a chock block there.

No thats all his. He had spurred off the back of a socket in the house taken the cable and very poorly gaffa taped it to a plasric roof through the brick wall where you see that abomination

Just needed a couple of choc boxes....

You beat me to it! I was going to say a couple of choc boxes and a few cable clips is all it needs. Am I being too fussy?

Judging by the age of the older wiring and socket then, the last EICR by the landlord must have been about 30 years ago
