I was putting in a junction box to install a 2 gang plug in the cellar. The wiring in our house is a nightmare, suffice to say it's definitely not Part P compliant but I thought I'd worked out the out and return to our kitchen which run through our cellar under the floor.
This was the one time I forgot to point my little live wire detecting pen at a wire before fiddling with it. I learnt my lesson :/
It turns out our whole kitchen seems to be on a spur - at least if there is a return I can't find it - which is well dodgy as you should only have one 2 gang off a spur, not your whole kitchen, but it hasn't spontaneously combusted.
