Hi can simeone give me advice I had a electricia install a outside socket that has melted the plug before I ring him can someone tell me if it's been installed correctly? I can't find the makes anywhere online are they inferior products?
I am not happy as my daughter was in the hot tub at the time so shouldn't have something tripped in the house or the RCD on the lazyspa ? As with it all being melted it was still working it's only because she could smell burning I was alerted to it ?
So from what I can see the middle switch is what it's connected to with a single cable running to a outside weatherproof socket any help appreciated

You must have had a quiet afternoon, @marconi ? Im sure all the pubs are open now if you're at a loose end
Waiting for the snooker to start......more seriously I have been baby sitting 9 week old jack russell, Maud, with a chronic itchy skin rash - quite upsetting to see her regularly scratch herself, only relieved when asleep or stroked - half way through treatment as advised by vet. Up at 5am because she was so troubled by it. Wife in hospital. was due home Friday but learned for good reason now Tuesday earliest. So needed occupying. Could not go in my man shed to dabble with some electronics ’cos being painted by two fine fellows , father and son, both with Asperger, who to my great shame tested my patience for reasons which are my failure not theirs. So needed distracting. Enough said for somewhat ‘grandstanding’ on this .......
