First of all, I hate labels! I do have to satisfy a "spreadsheet" mentality however...
and yes, I hang my head in shame for using sellotape but that's what was to hand...

On the fork thingy, does anyone remember "Splayds"?
I thought they were a 70s thing, but apparently they are still on the market...

That fire exit pic tho...

That door needs a sign on the push-bar such as "fire exit, push to exit"

Or else no-one will know how to use it or what it is!

I have shown this before, " can you spot the fire exit."

I'm still looking for a White door on a dark background.

Very nasty little widowmaker found above a ceiling. One klik rose was perm for emergency, other was switched supply from PIR. Previous installer had bridged the lives together in the fitting in the switched terminal - so the emergency side had never worked anyway, and pins of either klik plug were live when the other was unplugged.

In a school. Honestly they're the worst for it. Big "maintenance" firms smashing the remedials out with so many layers of people that there's basically no accountability.

A few of the strands have a bit of copper showing, but what's the issue other than that?

Split concentric cable?

I have come across this several times where a big bunched bundle of 2.5 red / black singles are being used as tails...
at first I was cursing the badger who installed such an abomination.
but after My initial shock horror I kinda had to stand back and admire the handwork.
