Indeed he is !!!!

mate you got any ideas how to wire an intermediate switch where the two triples are and also the switch live cheers

use twin and earth between all switches as the strappers,connect a live feed to the common of one of the 2 way switches and connect your switch wire to the common of the other two way switch.

connect the intermediates as you normally would and connect you switch wire into the intermediate switch as you would with a 2 way switch.

make sure that all the switches have the same colour connductor in L1 and L2 ( strappers) and make sure that you havent put a cable from one three core on one side of the intermediate and one on the otherside of the intermediate.I know it might sound obvious but it's easy to do,ive done it.
