There are enough samples of his work on contemporary music to keep him in a few quid each year. For example, off the top of my head, "Hello Hello" features on an Oasis track somewhere.
Correct, but in modern houses you'll find brown, red, black, blue and earth alongside each other. And there's only 1 neutral most of the time. It's a minefield
If faced with only red and black, black is neutral. When there's a blue involved it is often the neutral and black is another live on the ring. This usually only happens when there are two switches in the room for the same light (like you get at the bottom and top of the stairs) or multiple lights on the same switch.
It's all very confusing and therefore don't quote me on that either.
I get them all the time out here, but usually during the day when i'm at work. I quite often come home to flashing 00:00 LED displays and the house alarm panel twittering away.
