^^^^^ so not only has a neat installation Benn made rough, but was that RCD needed for fault protection? Looks like a TT system to me!

Oops just looked again and PME I take it from the second Henley/ service blocks.

You were right the first time it's TT, the meter man removed the Rcd being used for fault protection.

Wow, untidy and unsafe!

Is it common for meter fitters to remove components which fall outside the scope of their work?

Well he needed somewhere to stick the warning labels....two colours of cable, which ain't needed. Then, a warning not to store combustible materials close to the equipment... at high level, above a door seems weird.

And you can bet they went home thinking I did a good job today.

Had one yesterday where I had fitted new cu and isolator a few months ago.
Meter man came to put in a smart meter and replaced the new Wylex rec2 telling the customer that the regs have changed so needs replacing with an eon labeled one.
Needless to say he took the wylex one with him for I assume safe disposal on eBay

At least he left a new one, regardless of whether it was through idiocy or self gain.

Judging by the standard of work they could very well be gas pipes

This may have already done the rounds but perhaps a reminder to some of the ingenuity of your average sparks!, using a cardboard box as an enclosure! Lots of exposed basic insulation too!
