Yes - but more for the general public.


But wasn't the yellow stripe added to the green for the
benefit of the colour blind, whether they be electricians or
customers?

If there aren't any color blind electricians, why is there a
yellow stripe on the earth wire sleeving?

Yes, again.

As opposed to flex? Why have two standards? The whole idea was to have
just one.

Red-green colour blindness is surprisingly common in men... Lots of
online tests.


Not ideal for a sparks, I'd say?



He is not colour blind, he is a thick *******.

Good to see that you felt personally addressed when "thick *******" was
mentioned, senile Rodent! And RIGHTLY so!
