I'm now banned until November

Pah, I'm banned for life, in perpetuity, interminably, for ever and ever, till a point at which time touches eternity.

Personally, I think they were a little harsh.

All the sparks I know do a tug test.

I swear some electrical gear is designed so the screw terminals don’t grip.

As much as I hate to admit it, that might me true.

Every time I try to register there I never get the confirmation email.

Useless site, no dark mode so its very hard to read light coloured text on a light background.

I concur. The older MK and Wylex breakers were the worst. The ones where you have to put one conductor one side of the screw and one on the other.
Makes life difficult if you have three 2.5s or stranded conductors.

Most terminals are rubbish with mixed conductor sizes.

I've started adding ferrules if I'm terminating stranded wire.
