I think my 7 year old son could do a better chase.

My favourite moment:

After seeing that video, I think you could be serious!

The crazy thing of all is, rather than snidely installing this bodge, he actually thinks that that is an acceptable way of doing things, to the point he had the brass balls to post it on youtube as an instructional video.

was it the same guy who made the video of himself chasing an outside socket into pebble-dashing then using no nails to fix it.(can anyone find that one)

That one was another of my favourites

I remember that one but yes seems to be taken down.
Some of the more dangerous sparky videos seem to be taken down after a few months.
There was another guy who wired his garage is garage is hi-tuff but sniped out all the earths and wired everything to the top of the main switch in his house

That’s a shame I could do with a bit of light hearted entertainment on a wet Saturday morning

Deleted - I have decided not to post links to videos showing bad practice in the open area of the forum, in case it confuses non-electrician visitors.

I quite like the idea, but can see how it could be terminated poorly in many terminals.

There's a reluctance to break with convention in the UK, with things being done a certain way because 'that how it's done'. What's a little reverse polarity between friends?

Sorry, had second thoughts and deleted the post with the link to a video of bad termination and reversed polarity. Maybe the rogues' gallery needs to be in the Arms?

Totally agree. Let's keep 'em to the Arms......although it was in the 'Dodgy' thread...and that confuses me, sometimes.

Hilariously bad, though. Four inches, doesn't even know what an inch is.
