Taken in Tanzania,beside a boardwalk,with tourists walking past all day,240V.

UK is the standard plug over there.

I also have another pic i which i can't find, of the join in the underground mains cable going to the main building at a small airport.
The cables come out of the ground where the join is,in the garden, and are wrapped up in an old small plastic bag for water proofing.

I sent the pic to my Seth Efrican workmate and he said that's really common, and if you looked up they probably had a coat hanger over the active on the overhead!
The neutral is usually just a post into the ground, aka an earth stake

Rick,at one of the camps in Tanzania,the manager had the local fridgie out to replace the capacitor on a chest freezer compresser.
He did a 4 hour plus round trip on the worse roads in the world,from the nearest town,she showed me the invoice for the repair.It was $32.00 US

Apologise for being on its side,i can't seem to get it upright,a phone pic.

This is a join in the mains cable going to a small airport building,seemed like around 4 to 6 mm cable.

Pic was taken in Rwanda.

Wow.
