Recently there has been a lot in the news regarding UK's 'irresponsible' drinking culture in our society today - 24hr drinking - Charles Kennedy - Liver Disease etc.... Is it no wonder that as generations are brought up, to think that "socialising" every day in a pub is the norm? Take...

Yes, there is an Earth coming out of the right hand side of the service fuse box (60/80A), it then continues into the CU. No, there doesn't seem to be a clamp nor soldered joint around the cable. So presumably I have a PME System. Would this make a difference in the choice of a replacement...
