  • The joint shown is twist and tape, and in the new colours. It need not have been taped, there are ways of knotting wire ends so that you do not need the tape, as the L and N bare twists are held pointing in opposite directions by the knot.  UK electricians never learn these skills, but they exist.

    We are just very spoilt in the UK, and expect everything to be safe even for people standing in places where it says not to and touching things they should not, for most of the planet single fault to danger and a sense of self preservation is enough.
