It's still perfectly legal for non-electricians to work on house wiring.
And some young persons may be mystified if they come across red and
black in a house they've moved into.


If you came across wiring colours you didn't recognise, wouldn't you
ascertain what they referred to before going further?

At one time is was quite common to find imported goods with just about any
flex colours you could shake a stick at. So before fitting a mains plug
you'd check which did what. If you valued your health.
