MG TD TF 1500 - Strange wire

In the process of re-wiring my TF which had had extensive work completed previously by other owner/owners I've a wire from my NEGATIVE battery cable terminal (which as it should runs to the starter switch) which is connected to the earthing point of the POSITIVE cable earthing point on the battery box. The car as should be is POSITIVE earth. There was no fuse blowing or anything apparent in the wiring function in the short use before starting work. Any ideas?

If is a single wire (- to +) it should blow or has already blown. I have seen a split twin wire used to supply an isolated socket for neg earth sat navs and chargers.

A wire from + to -? Where is the nearest fire extinguisher?
