I suggest you try checking the number of fires attributed to household
wiring installations in the UK, they are very few! Chocolate blocks are a
far superior electrical connection to wire nuts. I've never found a reliable
piece of military or aviation equipment which uses wirenuts (wirewrap-yes)
and I've seen plenty which use chocolate block type connections.

Wirenuts are a fire waiting to happen IMO and frequently it does ( in spite
of the very good UL wire specifications)!
