And there's more

Two comments that the muppet in the video has posted on YouTube. I despair :

I think you miss the purpose of this video. It's designed so that anyone can do it. You don't need to be an electrician as it is in principal an extension lead nor does it need to be inspected or signed off by a certified electrical contractor.

I have drilled/put 5 holes in the unit, 1 at each corner for the screws and 1 centred for rear cable entry point. They thus become drain holes. In addition I used an earth/ground cable on the plastic casing as an extra safety feature. The manufacturer has it IP66 rated but if you start drilling more holes in it then the rating would not apply.

I thought the whole point of Part P being introduced was ostensibly to put a stop to these rogue installs where DIY idiots 'test' with a drill rather than with a 17th edition multifunction tester? If so, then Part P clearly isn't working.

it's never worked since it's inception ( except to swell the coffers of niceic and the like).

I remember seeing this video when it was first uploaded. My first thoughts were that I would never use t+e in flexible conduit externally just thrown on the ground.

The guy in the video had alot of videos and iv spotted quite a few questionable methods. His video on joining the scams was quite interesting

Yes! Can't find it though.

I reckon he got so embarrassed with all the flak he received he took the video down. Because it did make him look a bit of one didn't it?
