    Radio Man presented the following explanation :
    Should I join all my wires like this in future?

    How to Twist Electric Wire Together/ Properly Joint Electrical Wire

    https://youtu.be/N8F6KcfB9Go

    That is close to the college taught method of making a joint (with the
    addition of some solder).

    Very similar to the old way of making off aerial lashing wire.

    I would suggest that the art of twisting wires together was invented by
    there Spanish as I've encountered it in their self catering flats on
    holiday in the past as well as the two pin plugs where the stranded wire is trapped by the treads of the hand tightened plug pins leaving strands poking out to get a belt from.

    Is all that wrapping necessary for joining a mains lead?

    Radio Man formulated the question :

    It was, plus tinning a couple of sections with solder, at each side -
    so as to retain some level flexibility in the joint.
