Why do punters invariably put the cable grip on upside down?


Because there are no instructions with it when you buy one?

Perhaps I am one of those who fits them upside down, because I have
never seen anything resembling an installation diagram or fitting
instructions.


We were taught how to fit them properly at college some 15 years ago
as part of out very first practical exam' along with fitting 13A plugs.





There is a continuous end and a segmented end. I have always fitted the
segmented end farthest away from the connection end. Am I right or
wrong?

The segmented end faces away from the plug tip.

I'm amazed that isn't obvious to everyone.
