When we moved into this house, there was this dubious looking socket - and it didn't work. Well, never mind it looked a bit dodgy and it was in a stupid place near the cooker. Finally got to take if off yesterday - and it was spurred off the cooker point in telephone cable. I think I know why it doesn't work now... and when I hack the plaster off I'll find a nicely charred bit. They hadn't even bothered to double up the conductors (or bothered with an earth for that matter - even with four spare conductors).
This, I hope, is going to be the stupidest thing I find in this house. (I'd thought the loft sockets on a lighting circuit in 1mm and the socket radial bypassing the CU was bad, but I guess you see all this pretty often.)
Sorry, just had to rant to someone about this,
