Just counted up how many double 13A sockets we've just put into the
refurbished *half* of this place: 38. That makes for one helluva fuse
board if each was a radial...

Seen American consumer units? Huge, ugly things, bit like the Americans
themselves :-)

Yeah, but we're smart enough to not put them in our living room.

Seen in a hotel room in Scotland:

That would fail inspection in the US, because the wiring trough at
the top is missing its cover.


It all looks a bit new, maybe the installation isn't finished yet?


How was he able to take the picture, if the building wasn't open to
the public?



I didn't say the hotel wasn't open to the public, it might have been
open for a century or more. I did say that it -i.e. dis boxes and cables
- looked fairly new. and that`s not a cable tray at the top, it looks
like two strips of plywood. I imagine that there should/will be some
kind of box around it.
That's probably the dis-board for the whole floor. I'm sure that it
should be safely under lock and key if it's in a public room


My point was that the lights were on. That isn't the case, prior to
inspection and getting a Certificate of Ocupancy in the US. If a US
building needed a major rewire like that it would be close until the
work was complete, and had all the paperwork is in order.
