I was going to ask that too. Metering stuff? Or what we in North
America call the breaker panel, perhaps? A distribution panel of some
sort, as the fuse/breaker arrangement is different in the UK than NA?
I've never been clear on all the in-house mains arrangements/
requirements in the UK.

Yep..
Probably looks a bit like my dad's... I managed do the entire
electrics for his new workshop some years back (two large rooms)
using just fittings he'd salvaged or saved... We bought new
cable, and a few patress boxes, but pretty much everything else,
sockets, switches, lights, storage heaters etc, was re-used stuff;
even the consumer unit was second hand...
What is a "consumer unit", Rob?
