"Pride" isn't part of the curriculum on the training courses yet

I think it's more a case of your frame of mind. Some people on my course don't give 2 fecks. Those are the ones the tutors tend to not bother helping much. The ones who care and take pride are the ones who receive the extra advice/guidance and in most cases get pushed more

There is a place we do work in where someone has connected a 6mm armoured cable to supply a distribution board, directly to the incoming supply, relying on the cutout fuses for protection. The cable is about 40M long...
