When re wiring a house we found this empty bottle under the floor some one has had a crafty
​drink and hid the bottle 

The shower switch has failed and has been burning. The only problem has been when it was installed the screws have not been tight enough causing the cables to get hot so always make sure you tighten up all electrical accessories 

This method of wiring was used till about the late 1980 and can be found in many houses  before the use of three core and earth cable. As you can see the live is taken from the ground floor circuit and the neutral from the upstairs circuit this is not good practice at all so make sure you isolate both circuits when working on them
