    Will The Terminologies Start Changing?

    I've noticed the younger ones are changing the terminology of things throughout the building trade, I just wondered if the same thing is happening throughout the electrical world?

    "sorry love, you need a new metal cu, it'll make everything so much safer"

    I can't get my boards as artistic as some of the YouTube sparks but came across this absolute shambles today... I know there's cowboys in all walks of life but do any other trades suffer so much with unskilled people charging money to do skilled work? (and getting away with it)

    Hi, So last year we bought a house and didn't go through and label the fuses. There are 15 in the box. The previous owners wanted to install an infra-sauna in the upstairs bathroom, and put in a cable but never put in the sauna. This was turned off at the fuse box, but we never paid attention...
