Nah, I hate poofball. I am a rugby player - proper hard not like those wet fanny's who dive and roll over clutching their shins every 2 mins! Was celebrating the fact I had got back from college after listening to 3 hours of boring motors and generators!

I take my 3 core from switch to switch but when I first started 3 years ago the spark I worked with taught me to take my 3 cores from each switch to the ceiling rose and crimp it through in the rose.

sounds a bit complicated that one. it would be a bit cramped in the rose.
