Went the other day to fit some light fittings in a mates house he’s just inherited, and ended up having to Rewire the upstairs lights as they were wired in TRS
Whilst up in the loft I found these....

Not sure about its fire rating - apart from highly combustible!

I removed a couple of those last year that were still in service. Both came out as part of rewires. Danger notices issued in the interim.

Brilliant. The top poster is a BICC Ltd advertisement. Once industry leaders in Cable manufacture. Lord Derby's estate about a mile from Prescot was one of the first houses in the world to have electricity. Growing up as a kid most of the factories were still standing but in a dilapidated state. All gone now of course for McDonald's, Tesco, Subway etc.
