Lifted some floorboards upstairs today and found this piece of (original)
1969
new house wiring (to downstairs light switches) - note the green wires:-

(its about 400kb)

and I think twice about adding a junction box...

Chill out! I've seen much worse. At least you seem to have a good solid
electrical connection there. g

My thoughts exactly, my current fave is lead sheathed cable with barely
tightened earth continuity clamps or a bit of stranded wire loosely twisted
round the sheath for continuity.

or installing a few computers in a mate's new office and getting a few
tingles off the cases, no earth, sorry not true, bit of loosely twisted tinned
stranded wire round a bit of rusty conduit at the incomer to the office as
the earth.
