I visited my in-laws over christmas. They think they may need some work on their electrics!!
I opened the cupboard and was greeted with this......
They have fairly recently had the meter updated, but I was surprised it was connected up to some VIR feeding the CU's. Where the new henleys have been installed, the VIR has been bent to fit in, resulting in the outer covering breaking.
The earth arrangement also seems a bit strange. It appears to be a black cable coming straight from the overhead line.
The supply pole is in a field right outside the back door.
The wooden board that the CUs are mounted on isn't actually attached to the wall. There is no CPC on the lighting circuit either, with the old round bakerlite switches.
My contribution to the "worst install" competition!!
