    Sorry Spoon, have I done something that I shouldn’t of? I’m using my phone for this for the first time.

    domestic earthing

    OP... is your supply to the cottage overhead supply from poles? If so, if you follow the poles down the line supplying your cottage and neighbours, at every other pole you may see green/yellow signs about 6 foot high on the poles indicating PME available. Like been said, only the DNO can...

    They could mean a bit of wire wrapped round an old lead water pipe! Very poorly worded indeed, left them selves wide open I would of thought

    Wiring a FCU to a double socket

    What's already been wired off the double socket. I'm assuming the socket is wired on a ring circuit. Of course that wants checking out and confirming.

    UK Does this wiring look ok?

    I agree with what you say. It reminds me when I used to do electrical surveys years ago, in instances like above, I could never say to a customer that the installation was dangerous. I had to say that it was hazardous. Apparently if we used the word dangerous, customers would ring and say that...
