Lamenting the passing of RF's excellent regular feature, I thought I'd post a piccy of something I found recently.

Course I do!! My lack of posting was not because I had the hump..!
This was a call-out to a flat above an Indian restaurant. Complaint: sockets not working.
We traced it to this mess. The rubber cable you see is a spur from a socket below in the kitchen. It was found in that position, live and free of the JB.
It has no cpc, hence the cpcs of the 1mm² flexes going off to the individual sockets were not connected either.
There were four flexes attached and they were well-overloaded. 3 of the sockets were running a 3kW heater each, plus other loads besides. i'm surprised the B32 didn't pop, considering the circuit also ran most of the kitchen's appliances.
But you can see signs of burning where the 1mm² (or more likely, a loose connection) was complaining about the load. I did not manage to take a piccy of one of the sockets, but it was well crispy...

BAS was banned earlier in the week for his comments regarding forum censorship and moderation.
Not sure, but I have a sneaking suspicion it may be something to do with the first line here: http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=172086
Don't know, I can't see him rushing back after a ban, even if it isn't permanent.
I fail to see his point about swearing. I think it would lower the tone of the forum if it was littered with swear words.
As for saying a word just because it had a few *s in it was no longer a swear word was a load of rubbish, most people know exactly what the intended word was and was abuse aimed at a moderator.
So if you want banned, you just have to call a moderator a nasty word!

It was only a 24hr ban, expired tuesday afternoon, but as you say, I can't see him rushing back either.
He's back, he posted briefly here! http://www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1173671#1173671
