I'm just wondering why there's a red and brown wire coming from the service head going to meter and why is there a grey sheathed cable into the earth Henley block? Where does that go?
….and who's that joker throwing 'dumbs' around.... #9@Chris1234, could you let me know what you dislike about post #10, can't see what there is to dislike tbh ?

I’m left handed so tend to ‘like’ a lot of things on Facebook as the like button is on the left and press it while scrolling.
Mods/Admin, can we have a 'Like x 100' button for this man, or some other special recognition, on the basis of his disdain for Farcebook?No excuse at all,I'm left handed too, but on the other hand I don't have anything to do with Faceache.

@Chris1234, you disagree that I'm left handed ?! I can assure you it's true.
I also did similar thing many many years ago. Switched off all sockets, radio went off. So started to work on a socket, yep got a shock, it was on Economy seven! Time clock out of sinc. It was an old storage heater point. Ahh wellThis reminds me of the time I got a nasty belt whilst changing a socket in a flat.
I switched off at main switch and my radio went off in the kitchen.
That was the amount of dead testing I did. LoL
I then took socket off wall in lounge and got a belt. Wtf.
After checking the precious tenant had drilled a hole through the back of the service head and passed a 2.5mm from service fuse to busbar feeding one of the breakers. Bypassing the meter completely.
This obviously left the whole busbar and therefore any breakers in the on position with voltage outgoing on the live conductors but turning off the main switch would cut out the neutral leaving nothing working in flat giving the impression it has been isolated.
I put it down to someone growing or for some other reason trying to extort electricity.
