Alan:

Sounds like that "plonker" knew just enough to be dangerous!! Does that qualify him to be a "******" too? [Linked Image] Or maybe "*********" fits better!

britspark:

I agree with kiwi, working out a plan to gradually upgrade would be a great idea. And if you could carefully and in easy-to-understand terms explain to the couple and/or thier son that the condition of the old wiring is cause for concern, I think you'll find them receptive.

Personally, I would rather deal with a face-to-face discussion to alert them to potential trouble, than read about a tragedy caused by the dodgy wiring that I didn't say anything about.

You sound like a true professional, with concern over the safety of others. A big thumbs up!!
