Hi M - strangely I feel that wiring systems are a bit like icebergs, in that only a small % is ever on display. And the bit the installer knew would be seen is likely to be their best efforts :eek: .
 
Either Spanish or Portugese, badly spelt. I won't condemn hin because of that, because I have seen lots of really good Spanish electrics...
(he lied)
 
Unfortunately many people have no knowledge of electrics. I neither am nor was an electrician, but when a neighbour asked me (as a schoolboy) to look at the broken cable in his house which they "repaired" but didn't work, I could see the problem. They had basically wrapped all three wires from each end together. At least they had put some tape round it!!
 
That homeowner paid far less than he should have, that cowboy may be able to milk a cow but failed at milking the customer properly.
 
I'm a trainee sparky studying for my Level 2 C&G. I have re-wired homes before with my dad and now with my brother in law.
Even I can tell that is a total ---- job.

I might just even show this to my college tutor.
