Ed.Kloonk:
I too noticed the wires hanging out too. I can't believe you could be there and not see that.

Yes, they wouldn't instal la box like this now, but it was different in the 80's.

Dave, shame on you... You are EE!


EDIT:

My mother house (flat) is from '91. It has a smaller box, with 1 "differential" (ground fault interruptor) and 5 power control units (bipolar all of them). Before "intelligent" meters there was also a ICPM (power switch, sealed by company to check maximum instant consuption). But everything inside house, pr9tected in a non-metal box....

Also fuses and meters (originally analogic ones), always outside home. In this case in a special room in ground level of the building. This is useful for companies, they can cut electric flow if you don't pay.... (all these rooms have a master key that all electric companies have).

no other dodgy wiring like those unsegregated "alarm" cables etc, probably a world of pain if the whole installation was checked over.

Wow  Your Fuse Box Looks Like something from the Third world .
Book Of Horrors . So glad I don't live in house with that wiring it would keep me
up at nights holding a fire Extinguisher .
That type of fuse board Layout was banned here 30 ++ years ago.
 And did you not see that wire just flapping in the wind with a bared end ..  :palm:
