Dont joke we were discussing this regualtion on Sunday, how it came about and the issues it has created.

I remember when twin+E was introduced, it rattled many cages and caused quite a stir, my boss at the time (alomost 40 years ago) made millions out it was on all the right boards to make it happen and off it went.

We were wiring up 6 houses a day. We had the layout marked out on the workshop floor to measure and cut cabling, put the wire into those flat twin PVC boxes, skrewits, close the lid, roll up the whole house wiring into a bundle, off to site, threw it into the roof and rolled it out, dropped the switch and plug wires down the wall with all the flat flush plaster depth boxes, knocked a couple nails in the boxes and metal fold over cable clamps and off we went to the next house.

It made no difference if the house was being sold for R50k or R 1 bar, we slapped them together as fast as we could and made the bass smile every day as his bank account grew to 6 digits and beyond.

Hope this is sarcasm or some such, and this was not some electrician's actual defense.!!!!!
