Can anyone spot any problems?

I thought the clamp was for cable exiting the connector?

Some illiterate person to fail to associate the earth symbol, L and N
with the appropriate conductor?




Oh yes! Under the tile gob there's an "N" with the attached earth
wire etc!...


I hadn't seen the "N (earth sign) L" labels embossed in the "bakelite", but
my first thought on seeing the photo was "I think I'd have put earth in the
middle so a stray live or neutral wire would be more likely to touch the
earth in the middle rather than touching live to neutral. I suppose it
doesn't matter *too* much as long as the lead from the cooker to the
connection point is connected with matching wire colours, even if the
neutral terminal has been used for the earth, but it is very unconventional
and a definite "fail" if an electrician inspected it!
