2x reds, 2x blacks and 2x yellows being connected into the back of a
surface mount double 13amp socket. They also seem to be 1.5mm.

Good ad? I think not.

I cannot find a link to a video, but...

Their ad is being hammered out at the moment on ITV3 afternoons.

People actually watch ads that closely? Really?
My attention defocus V1.0 seems to be working rather well.

I wouldn't normally notice, or at least would not notice the purpose of
the ad, but this one caught my attention due to its very amateur
presentation of what should have been so easy to get right. They must
have gone to considerable effort to find red, black wire and yellow
wire. No sign of the grey sheath.

You only posted about this ad because of the wrong coloured
wiring. Had it been correct you wouldn't have noticed.

Quite possibly a lot of people reading your thread title might not
actually know what Checktrade* was, and some might even look it up
on Google as a result. The fact that the wiring was the wrong
colours wouldn't be such a big issue for them as they might
put it down to the pony-tails who made the ads.

Whereas those people who noticed the wrong colours such as yourself
while you're the last people who would use checktrade will
talk about the ad and bring Checktrade to the attention of
people who maybe might use them. Via social media, whatever.
The fact that Checkrade might turn out to be rubbish for most
people is immaterial, as only a minority check review sites
beforehand.

Basically all publicity is good publicity providing the MD
isn't being charged with kiddie fiddling/terrorism/tax evasion
and hasn't got on the wrong side of the tabloids.

You've been used Harry, manipulated. If having found this out
you now feel you need counselling maybe there's someone on
Checktrade who could help.

Checkatrade is a "football" cup competition in which lower league
sides will play with the 'b' teams of higher league sides.

That just about puts into perspective the esteem of Checkatrade,
you've got no idea what you'll get but whatever it is will be second
rate.

Its the usual scheme of the tradesperson (or not) pays them to join
their scheme, they are then added to a local list.

Ah...

I do not rate CheckaTrade - you never see a **** review and the paying
customer is the trader!!! Wonder why...

Amazon reviews are better - they make from both seller and customer so
they have an incentive to leave the reviews alone.

I hope I live long enough to see Amazon's ad for their emergency
electrician service. Adam arriving suspended from a flock of drones?
With apprentice suspended upside down by his trousers round his ankles
from the flock behind?
