Surely my 1.5mm and 2.5mm earths going through their own hole will be OK then?
Complete opposite end of the spectrum!
Wonder if my NIC inspector would have hard feelings about it

Just annoying when you’re a bit of a neat freak with a distribution board and know that taking the earths through their own hole at the top of the board makes it look so much better
Whilst neatness is important you should not be putting form over function.
Putting all the earth's through a separate hole might look neat but it can make the next person to work on that boards job a lot harder.

I imagine they could, but it doesn't seem an ideal method of identifying materials. The process would require the possession of quite a bit of information and strictly controlled conditions.

I would imagine by not being able to identify what earth lead applies to what circuit, unless each earth lead is identified/labelled.
