Ahhhh thats a great cover!

When I was in spain last year I was browsing a shop, Anyways I had to take a step back to let someone past and whacked my elbow off something hard and sharp.
Imagine my surprise/shock when I turned round to see this!

The worst of it all was on the left you can see a rack for crisps and just off the pic to the right was a rack for kiddies sweets!
Oh and it was only about 3ft off the ground.....

:(

That's quite a tidy looking job.

It would be a shame to hide it behind a cover .............

I can beat that went to a shop where lighting kept tripping was wired to 16th so no rcd cover took a while but eventually found a similar metal crisp box stand for customers and kids alike to pick out at but the frame was live and was only fitted a week earlier 'coincidence'! NOT!!!! it had been screwed in the corner of 2 walls straight through a lighting cable ... cable well within zone... can't figure how no-one get a belt :whatchutalkingabout

This is a good example for why fitting RCDs on all circuits buried in wall is a good idea

Don't see what your problem is, it looks like the magic RCDs are all present. :)

But do they work....
Dont know if they had even been tested seen as the sticker that you would normally write it on would of been on the missing cover LOL

In retrospect maybe I should of jabbed a pinky in and got some compo? :eek: (Joking :p)
