Could be, if the rcd trips out at night and your plunged into total darkness.
Yes, but it was still in the base of the plug, which meant you had to work at getting it into a socket - it wasn't something you could do casually or by mistake.OK OK but they werent always like that....
(Pretty sure I can remember plugs where the main screw just came all the way out)

i think it does go into the 6A mcb. it could be a red double insulated single core cable. if you look at the corresponding neutral that could be a grey double insulated single core cable. it looks like similar cable has been used coming out of the capping where that horrible joint is.
Just got to look at the writing on the CU. Poor and sloppy. Says it all.
You can take the cover screw out, put it on loose, plug it in very carefully and then remove the cover again.Thats true, and I hadn't stopped to consider it was a live that was being commented on as opposed to anything else. Guess what I'm wondering is I know there are requirements for keeping probing fingers out of things but once the cover is taken off what are the rules - if I take the cover off a plug top things are pretty dangerous.
You won't do that whilst it's energised in a socket though due to the location of the fixing screw.

Always makes me laugh when I read this, because s**t loads of people die each year when a lightbulb blows..........the human race survived for many years prior to split load boards (if you are unaware)
