Earth on metal light switches?

Why?

Whh on earth did you bother to send this?

Considering that most of those people in the video can't hit the broadside of a barn, the threat seems a bit empty.

I had another look at a couple of switches and now that it has been brought to my attention I have found the earth core. In one light switch it was cut back so that it couldn't be seen without moving the sleeve. Fortunately, there was enough slack in the cable to allow me to cut it back. In other switches I found that the earth cable was wrapped back around the cable and I just hadn't seen it.

So, thanks to your help and advice I have now successfully (and correctly) wired up the new metal switches and sockets.

Regards.
