In a domestic installation all cores should be identified as either line, neutral or earth ( brown, blue or green and yellow ) sleeve them up baby.

You wouldn't want the owner getting a shock when he changes his switches to chrome would you, where does this grey one go and what does it do??????????????????????????????

Keep cutting the seals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
