wanna see my snake?
It is the taped up wire, the junction box was from the light switch. Nearly got caught out by the two power feeds/consumer units, one (the good one) just runs upstairs left and the ceiling wire here while the other (old proper fuse wire thing) runs the shop and the upper right. I need to rip the wires out of that plug socket anyway, as they made them too short to go into trunking by about 2-3 feet as they were behind a false wall.The plaster and wiring job is nasty but only the third one looks like it's of any danger - and only if the taped up wire is the live bit and not the inside of the junction box
On the plus side I won't have to make anything good when I leave!
