Very true.... - I did point out a method  of using a multimeter to see what was going on..

 

No "cheap" tester would have though.... (apart from flicking each fuse and seeing what's going on - which as an aside is something I always do when I move into a new house, you never know what mods the previous owner may have done).

 

The worst two I have found was an electric cooker plugged into the ring and a 13A socket wired off the lighting circuit.

 

He did ask as an aside in his last post for any devices that could do simple DIY health checks on electrics, and that's what it is....
