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

That means he can understand what's there - and have an idea of risk - but unless he is a licenced electrician, he can't touch it.

There are tens of thousands of installations that look just like this - and most owners won't know about the tangle behind the board because they won't look at anything but the meters and fuses/breakers.  (Yes, there are still a lot of ceramic fuses still out there.)

Just because there are lots like it doesn't mean it's safe. It's clearly not properly maintained.

I bet if you inspected every electricians own house you'd find  more than few that  don't comply 100% to the rules,i know mine dont,but in the main we know the risks and what exactley is safe

 If you can't distinguish Between A mess and Down right  :wtf: Dangerous .
 I marked the 3 Hot spots All illegal ..  in the rest of the 1st & 2nd world class countries.
   Except for Australia where the electricians don't work to any safety standards ..

Just because you don't know what you're looking at doesn't mean it's dangerous. It is presently a mess - that's reason enough to investigate. Whether it's dangerous or not needs to be determined by doing more than screaming "OH GOD I SEE COPPER IT MUST BE LIVE!", and "A CABLE TIE, IT WILL KILL US!".

I cannot see for certain what that wire is connected to or whether it's live - and nor can you. It actually looks like that was the feed to the breaker, which would mean it's not live..

Ah, yes, one bad installation condemns an entire country.

Calm down, dear, and get a grip.
