Unoccupied 1970s house being refurbished , we turn up today to replace board , alter some wiring & rewire kitchen .
Fit new board with just one socket by it in garage for builder's use & discover that the PME earth terminal is not linked to the N in the DNO head. Fair dues to the Network who attended in 2 hours ...but as this was in the centre of a row of 8 terraced houses , supplies looping pairs of houses ,,I suggested that the other cut-outs could well be the same ( OK its not my business) ie ; someone way back didn't fit the links ...............new houseowner has had a shock as he stripped out kitchen sink unit..between pipes and sinktop............no interest shown in checking them out ... :C
