When I bought my place I had to run between the bank, the lawyer's office and the land registry all on the same day
Finally got to the land registry to deposit the contract, and they informed me that the bank had cocked up the paperwork. And if it wasn't resolved in the next 45mins, the legal contract was void, the bank transfer to the seller would fail, and we'd lose all rights to our 20% deposit and have to pay all the legal fees again (another 10%).
That afternoon was a frantic series of taxi rides between offices, and a diamond was shat out afterwards.

I had a friend in primary school whose face was permanently crusted with baked bean juice.
His teeth were mostly black and he stank.

Yes, they're all but banned in our house, on account of their sugar content.

Watching ladypig ride a horse.
Well, I was, I'm sat out the back of the barn now. We're not far from brize norton here, and 3 times in a row a plane has circled, come down low, nearly touched down by the look of it and then powered back up and off for another go around. Practicing aborted landings maybe? Bloody noisy.

Yup.
Put a bit of chocolate block on the ends and shoved them back into the ceiling, but I'd appreciate some sensible advice, if it's going?

Well, if it's an emergency, one of the live cables is a permanent live feed,
So you'll have to knock it off at the breaker or a emergency key switch to do any work. Where is it? Your house?

Yeah. Leftover from when this was a children's home (think Tracy Beaker).
Seems to be on the same fuse as the downstairs lights, as the little red light on it went out when I flicked that one. At any rate, I didn't get killed when I disconnected it (it was hanging by the wires) and put the block on, but I don't imagine that's a permanent solution.

Sounds reasonable. How many wires?
Depends what you're going to replace it with. If you get an emergency fitting it's easy enough to figure out which is perm and which is switched live with a normal multi tester. If you're going for a normal fitting, to be regs you'll need to safely terminate the perm somehow, if it was me id just put it in a connector and tape it up, but I doubt that's enough for an inspector. You can get some nice emergency lights these days, might be worth just keeping it as was for ease.

Is chocolate block a thing? Took me a second or two to figure out he must mean a connector block.

Wasn't planning on replacing it, so if wrapping the block in tape and shoving it back through the ceiling hole is safe, I'll do that.
Red, Black and Yellow/Green wires, and there is something to be said for having emergency lights, I suppose. There's 2 others in the house, one of which doesn't work, so I could do that at the same time. I really should invest in a multitester.
Cheers for the reassurance, Windy.

Just 3 cables? Does it not work off the switch?
It'd be a lot safer to find out where it goes and take it out really, if it was just a cable ditched in the back of the fitting it's probably alright, but I wouldn't want a live cable flapping about in the ceiling somewhere

Argh!
Probably wrap it up, short term, then get someone who knows what they're doing to sort it out. Need to get the smoke detectors done, too (they run off the mains, with a battery in for backup, but like to chirp a low battery warning all the time, so they've had the batteries pulled out and switched off at the fuse, making them pointless). Probably living in a death trap.

Not a school house, think more care in the community.
Think they housed troubled teens here, judging by the one cupboard in the kitchen with a lock on it, that had been repeatedly broken into. There's a window in my lounge door that's made of that glass with a wire grid run through it, which lends the room an institutional feel. Proper locks on all the internal doors, too, and what is now the playroom used to be an office, so has its own fuse box (for reasons I don't understand) and had proper workplace lighting.

Windows are getting done, this month, boiler got replaced shortly after we moved in, so it's a gradual process. Here for the long haul, so it's not like I'm planning to flip the place for profit.
