we don't like wire nuts over here. partly because (in domestics especially) most of our cable is solid core and getting a decent connection with a wire nut is almost impossible.
We pull singles in conduit and it’s stranded I can fully understand on solid wire

Gentlemen I followed the diagram and we have power and both switches function but the one switch has to be in the on position for the other to function any ideas?

Tom you do understand that one or the other switch is going to be up and the other one will be down is that what your saying

so do we. singles are 7 strand, but on domestics we use twin/E, either plastered in or capped. the sheath provides the mechanical protection. sadly, it's all solid core unless we want to pay double the price and wait for wholesalers to order it in. when we used imperial cable it was all stranded. far superior to the crap we're forced to use today since (against the wishes of the electrorate) a goon of a prime minister got us converted to metric.
