Or that the brick/block layer left the mortar joint "squished out" rather than trowel it off!

A half decent electrician would have his hammer up and down the wall knocking the mortar snots off before placing the cables in position.
However half decent electricians have been a bit thin on the ground for many years.

Look at a typical semi that hasn’t had the lighting circuit altered in fifty years or more, there aren’t light switches on the perimeter, they are generally all down the middle and accessible from above by lifting boards on the landing and third bedroom, though the kitchen being under the bathroom can be a bit of a sod.
Thanks for that diagram and explanation, it's much appreciated. The kitchen IS a bit of a sod because the lighting wiring goes underneath floorboards underneath lino underneath the bath and then into a short low extension roof. It's possible I'll have to remove the bath.
