I've been in my (1960's) house over 20 years now and always thought everything was fine. All was surely safeguarded by the RCD which sits next to the Wylex consumer unit? Wrong!!! A couple of months ago circumstances arose which led me to discover that the "RCD" is in fact a Crabtree voltage operated earth leakage circuit breaker https://www.flameport.com/electric_museu...elcb_2.cs4
As some of you will know, these were a very common fitting pre RCD's and there are lots still around apparently. Sadly, they are not actually very useful and unlikley to save your life like an RCD should do.
So, I'm cancelling Christmas so we can have a new consumer unit installed
