Pyro, you still alive?
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods

I have done stuff like this most of my life, and on many occassions found problems with dicky wiring carried out by well intentioned but not comptent previous workers.
eg. wiring up a new fan and finding the earth and neutral transposed.

Yeah, theres nothing as fun as turning up to a house to find good ol' "mr kiwi ingenuity" has turned the joint into a fire waiting to happen. "But its worked fine for years" isnt much consolation when you are staring at the ashes or the melted carcass of expensive gear

I have seen this so often that I now always assume that "neutral" will be live until I prove otherwise. An interesting variation I have seen is double three pin socket fittings where one socket is "normal" and the other one has been reversed!

Our house apparently had that before we owned it. One of those DIY chippies who tried a little wiring.
Apparently two owners back, the entire lot failed in a big bang, but no fire. The whole house had to be rewired... we also seem to go through bulbs very quickly as well...
