I replaced some external lights yesterday, the usual black lantern type.
Anyway, when I was trying to fit one, the corroded earth wire coming from
the wall snapped off completely. The instructions for the lights say they
must be earthed, is this definitely the case?

Yes.


There's no way I can be chuffed running a new wire.

Then should you really be messing with electrics?


What's the worst that can happen?

You could die.

Worse still, someone other than you could die.
