[QUOTE="roys, post: 72163, member: 5044"] What's your opinion, so a few of us were talking the other day and we are 50 50 split. I was taught and have always done (28 years sparkying but often proved wrong:)) to put an earth link between a metal B/Box and a metal face plate whether it be a socket or switch. Half of the sparks do and half don't with arguments going along the lines of the screws do the earthing, do which I reply what if someone nicks the screws or they are slack / corroded that is your earth gone. Then they reply show us where it is written down and that is where I struggle cos I can't find it written down anywhere. What do you guys think? Cheers Steve [/QUOTE]
