r can't switch it on, down is always off,

The Fireman's Switch to cut power to pumps at petrol stations used to be ( and may still be ) Push UP for OFF so they could be switched OFF by a simple stick

OK another odd one out, but unless some helicopter lands on it unlikely to switch on with something falling on it. Unless building falling apart when I would think electric is least of worries.

They still are, and off=up is a requirement in BS7671.

That’s ****ing obvious! Do you think any electricians are going to actually answer the question or just make sarky comments?

Comments which you entirely single-handedly brought upon yourself.

IIRC the mounting height of a fireman switch was originally determined by a policeman with extended arm holding his truncheon.

So is that why police men needed to be tall

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Some taller than others

If you go back and look at my posts, you will see they are all questions, not statements so there was no need for a sarky reply. Anyway, who asked you to poke your nose in?

I see you haven’t replied to the OP's question ‘How many errors can you spot?'. At least I had a go. Are you that sad and lonely that all you can add to this post is more sarcasm? Get a life.

I tend to avoid guessing where I don't know, and trying to contribute in areas outwith my competence.

You should try it.
