[QUOTE="binky, post: 420308, member: 490"] cables clipped direct and visible aren't unusual - looks horrible, but from a safety point of view you need to consider if they are likely to be damage? as for the wall lights, if someone has wired them to a plug, as in 3 pin and plugs into a wall socket, again not actually wrong of the fuse has been downrated to say 3 Amp. I would be far more ocncerned about the wooden fuseboard. There is a good chance of a board that age having loose connections. Ideally persuade your friend that an MoT for the electrics is probably a good idea. She wouldn't drive her car without getting a service/brakes checked regularly, she wouldn't avoid the doctor or dentist for 30 years - you just need to find the right phrase to 'push her buttons'. As suggested above and inspection and test would be money well spent. [/QUOTE]
