    Wish I could replace it, but heavy case of living from paycheck to paycheck. Thankfully flat isn’t mine but a third party organisation belonging to city, so they cover every electrical f-up that happens.

    I…am not sure if knob and tube was even used in EU, and between short search and LLM query the answer seems to be “no”. So this may be the closest EU equivalent to that xD

    All in all tho, I can relate to hunting shorts. At this point 5/7 of my mini electrical boxes (can-like shape hole in the wall where cables junction?) were replaced by electrician, because they all shorted to all hell. When I moved in it was worse - I had parallel connection between lightswitch and outlet and similiar shit xD Last owner was a handyman builder and…it was showing. A lot.

    Also I have only one circuit on singular fuse so that’s also fun.
