Amazing is that an earth rod to the left. Some people don't understand earthing at all.

 
a few years back I started work for one of those boiler installation companies,

and that was how they earthed gas and water in every property if it was awkward at at,

FFS, I simply couldnt believe it.!!!!!!!!

just tell they householder the gasman may as well do the CU change too see'ing as he is so good, ;)
