He doesn't even know the colours of the wires in the cable he has installed!:eek: The time he did use a stuffing gland he used in on the armoured cable! I'd never think of stuffing a plastic bag inside my electrical enclosures, I'm learning all the time.

'Not a bad job' You're joking right. :eek: I did agree with him when he said 'this is such a mess'...

That was a wild video!

Don't forget the phase must be in the middle (apparently)... And that neutral is a "man-made Earth".

I can't help but think we've seen this video before. Still a classic though!
 
Did you watch the whole vid? It starts getting tidier (sort of) near the end, glands on a few flexes, sort of straight cable fixing. I've never heard of the neutral being called a man made earth before either.

No knowledge at all is a dangerous thing!
