Oh that wallpaper is directly on the cable. It's an extremely popular way of insulating, fireproofing or completely concealing cables. I'm sure it must be effective and safe.
We also have 2 pin 16 amp sockets everywhere, bare wires and chocolate blocks on one wall, and none of the kitchen sockets or lights have any fuses or circuit breakers, save for the main house RCD, and no earth in the outbuildings across the street. (It's the householder's responsibility to connect an earth here, and our previous owner didn't bother.)
But, I've saved the best till last. I think we can all agree that running two 20 amp circuits through a door is super safe and definitely not an eyesore, can't we?
