I personally don't rate them at all, but my boss likes to save those pennys :LOL:

The RCBOs are the new siemens style. We were given a mixture of old and new from the wholesalers, and the wylex rep came out to site to swap all the old style (like in the SP board above it) with the new style.

Are you thinking of the really old type with the half circle type test button at the top?

2nd pic, why the Merlin Gerin MCB?
5th pic - I see you don't like the new colour scheme too :LOL: Good old black neutrals ;)
I recognise those blue boxes as synatel units in the rats nest panel - are they pulse/photocell timers? Looks awful, have seen things like that when people have been tinkering that don't know what they are doing!

Here's mine (16ed) that I posted before in the other thread shortly before connection (hence the tails not yet in the isolator).

I've always found looming and terminating enjoyable.

Working for BT, Mitel, Siemans and Ericsson for years doing huge wiring projects meant living in comms rooms for weeks and months.

It's not hard to make a decent job, rather than lashing it up and I think pride is important whatever the job. Once you get in the 'groove' a tidy job takes no longer than a messy one and you can walk away with the knowledge that you have done well.

Thanks again for the pictures, I'll post up today's efforts on a new post.

I must post a picture of my lashed up 'builders supply' arrangement.

Was I the only one that spotted RF's 'tails in the back of a socket' job?
