….yeah I removed it (!) the part on top was just sat on top of the pipe. It wasn’t fixed. How does the wire leading outside attach? Is it screwed / fixed to the wires in the photo? I know this is going round the houses a bit - I’ve had a quote and all, just wondering how dangerous it is.

so the fuse board is really old, the only thing I can see going into it is a grey thick wire which the electricians said must be for the electric shower. I can see something similar running outside the house but it doesn't come into the kitchen. The only thing that did come in was a beige wire...

Would you see it physically attached to the fuse board

The fuse board is the original 1950s. There was a beige wire which ran from this outside but it didn’t lead to the main fuse board.

Hi, I also have a question re: earthing water mains. My house is old (newly bought by me) and needs a rewire. Earthed to fuse board but not the watermains. I had it booked in but my elderly cat has become ill - I can't put him in a cattery and no family nearby to support. How dangerous is this...
