Default DIY dunces?

It looks as if there's going to be a boom time for the 'Professional
Handymen' then.


Anyone else think that the illustrated plug looks a bit odd? The earth wire
looks thinner than the others and appears to be solid cored. In fact, it
looks like it's been photoshopped in afterwards into a picture of a two core
wired plug. The live & neutral look to be tinned with solder which I
thought was a no-no.

Also it's a long time since I've seen one of those "fibre board" looking
cable clamps.
