I assume you're in the UK based on your use of the term "sparky"? How are things supposed to be wired there? In the US, we have neutral bonded to ground inside

I assume you're in the UK based on your use of the term "sparky"? How are things supposed to be wired there? In the US, we have neutral bonded to ground inside our mains panels.
(I'm not an electrician, but I'll do most of my home electrical work myself. My dad taught me this stuff when I was 12, and I've only learned more and more since. I won't do everything, but it's honestly not as scary as some seem to think.)

- soco 2y agoIn the end for both the professionals and the amateurs, the key is the time invested in learning and the practical experience accumulated. If you did lots of wiring and properly learned for it, are you even a DIY anymore? Getting your license would probably be a formality by now. So I think the difference should be made between competent people with or without license, and gung-ho DIY who'd start everything by themselves with a philips driver and a 5 minute YouTube video. And I don't think anybody here advocates for the latter.
