[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 466660, member: 16"] I think most here are missing the point that in domestic installs we generally use 'twin & earth' cable which is pvc/pvc with a bare earth or cpc. We then oversleeve the bare parts at the terminations. In Australia i believe the 'twin & earth' also has an insulated earth (i think Ireland also does now). In the Uk alll earths were bare untill the 14th edition (1974-6 ?) So its common to see bare cpc's and single earths lying about. Its also the norm to see what the op called singles (but actually tw&e) laying in voids, under floors and in attics here. [/QUOTE]
