Discuss Board Change in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Because earthing of back boxes was standard practice in those days, it's how I was taught.
These days it is not a requirement, but many people still consider it to be good practice.

It is a debate that has gone on since time immemorial, and I don't suppose it will stop anytime soon

true but cpc in/out on socket then flying lead to backbox would be my choice
