    2 gang socket wiring.

    Maybe obvious, but are any regulations how to fit earth cables? They always say all must be terminated to back box. So when 2 cables coming to the box 3 wires sleaved with green/yellow should be inside. 1 of them ending in back box? Right? I hope you understand me. I will make picture later.
