[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 3007, member: 250"] After seeing some real-life nightmares that wouldn't supprise me! I came accross an upstairs socket connected to a downstairs light circuit...(because it was the nearest wire)...the joint was wires twisted together & wrapped in selotape. :( :( ??????? Also a garden pond pump supply with a length of flex, fed inside a garden hose, to a 13a socket which the moulded plug from the pond pump connected to it! the plug and socket was enclosed in an upside-down margarine tub with the lid taped on!!!! :_| :_| :_| ??????? someone thought these were OK???? joe public may do anything wiv lectrics ! :| [/QUOTE]
