Assistance with Cooker Terminals

Ok, thanks for all previous advice.I have new cooker, and struggling to connect the cable at the back.I'm ill and seem to be having a very blonde week. I've never seen this before - here is a photo - please can someone tell me how to get the wires attached to the terminals? I loosened one of the screws and the backplate fell off inside the cooker - had to take the back off, fish it out, and spend an hour trying to relocate it.'ve never met a terminal I didn't like before, and it took me half an our to get the plastic box open and the flex grip out! Like I said, I'm pretty poorly and having difficulty concentrating, so a signpost would be helpful. Are you supposed to somehow wrap these thick wires around the screws? There are what look like feeder holes underneath, but the screws when done up don't grip anything.And numpty question time - if you have to sleeve the earth wire, why doesn't it just come sleeved?Thank you :(

Ah the joys of devolution...

Why is it we have to have black, brown and grey core colours "for harmonisation" when the Welsh, Scots and Irish do what they like...

The Irish have history with Blacks and Tans.
