    Then it could be said you are applying your personal opinions and not the regulations? that could be a problem in a number of ways.

    i will probably get myself in trouble by making statements like that. if the regulations say " do not earth it" ,it is different to "there is no need to earth it"
    i'm not going to earth something that is double insulated , but i always earth steel lightswitches with plastic covers and plastic screws or light fittings out of arms reach.
