He left the installation safer than it was when he found it, fixed a number of issues within limited time constraints and did exactly what (I'm certain) most pragmatists would have done under the circumstances.

Just because it was made safer doesn't mean it's safe.

However he should be condemned for laying hands on an istallation, without immediately bringing it up to current regulatory standards, despite there being no apparent immediate danger?

Arguing that leaving a non-compliant circuit is OK just for the fact that you made if safer, isn't a very good message to send out on an electricians forum

In Mr bundys case, he could have isolated the lights and loaned his mother-in-law one or two of his many battery lights.

If he didn't have time to make it compliant, then maybe getting another electrician in would be more suitable.

And nor does it mean that it's unsafe.

Really? I think you're stretching this one a bit to be honest.

@LukeD
I'd love to tell you the full story, but the mods would quite rightly step in!
Let me just say it was a very interesting experience!
Clearly I can't post a link, but this is a thread about interesting videos so I'll just say Fountains Of Wayne and Stacy's Mom...and that'll give you a fair idea!

I suppose it's fine until you realise there is no tool bag and your van is gone.

I one saw my mother in law's box in the middle of the night as we both decided to do a dash for the loo at the same time...

It must have been a fair size box for it to be easily seen at night ?
