Hi did my apprenticeship down south of England where for 4 or so years wired switch drops in twin red .Have you ever wired a house in twin red its a pain.
however up north no one seems to have heard of twin red/brown for switch drops,also know from previous posts on here some of the lads not heard of them either. Certain ways/ methods/ phrases can be regional .Sounds like he is that word that comes after door.
Ignorance don't you love it
