This is exactly how I found this junction under my floor, It did at least have insulation tape on some of it !!

Best bit is (I couldnt get a photo) One side of this led about 3ft to a juntion box and the other way - about 6ft to a similar joint with a piece of "lead covered" cable (which was another 6ft long) to the next socket ---- needless to say there is now a single continious piece of 2.5mm T&E between the relevent sockets !!!

Good find :thumbright:

I have often found things like that under floorboards!

I've also seen much worse :?
