Looks like that was written by a training instructor. Excellent.

Yeah you can tell he does abit of the old college work....

although, he did miss out the words 'sleeved brown' after the black/blue into L....but i'll put that down to him still being in a euphoric state over Bradford reaching the cup final

but if the existing cables are red/black, do you sleeve in brown to confuse everybody or use red? because if you sleeve in brown, then you have to sleeve the neutrals in blue, and repeat the excercise at the switch/es and at the CU.

Every instructor woth his / her salt knows to make a deliberate mistake to encourage the trainee(s) to pay attention and be alert. (we should all be alert .. our country needs them)

I always sleeve everything to the new colours, and sticker on DB. Yes, probably to confuse everyone

Could just start sleeving everything white lol.

I think I've got some spare sleeving that I could sell, about 2 inches of it should suffice to resolve your problem, if we come up with a good deal then I'll include the postage and packaging!
