Not a dodgy picture but found this amusing today. Funny how times have changed and this would have probably been quite a deterrent at the time. Any clue as to what the implications are of cutting them off now?

That label would just egg me on to cut off the tags just to see how long it takes for my £5 penalty letter to drop on the door mat

£5 probably a lot of money when that was new

Probably got a bit lucky here. Did Zdb and didn’t visually see what was going on, been testing Easy 9 boards this week so the line on the right didn’t really click with me. Turned the main switch on to do the RCD tests and my eyes caught how the cables were coming into the back of the board so I was wiggling round right next to the neutral bar, then I saw it ?.

You certainly can't criticise the IP rating of that bathroom switch.

Nasty!

Brings me back to the discussion about cooker isolators and the requirements for one or not

I actually remember a discussion with an inspector

He told me how a kitchen fitter had been electrocuted after switching off at the MCB only, reverse polarity as well
