I agree with Cinisajoy.
Today we had a customer who proudly declared that when he rewired his home he used the brown cable for ground/earth instead of the yellow/green one. He did this because brown is much more logical since actual ground (dirt) is brown, too. He was able to get blue cable on the cheap, so he used that for everything else. My father refused to sell him anything, because it can come back to haunt us.
This weekend my father is going to see if he can report the guy somewhere. Not only is it dangerous for anyone in the future having to deal with the electrics, we suspect his house is a fire risk because of what he wanted to buy from us and what he told us he wanted to use if for. We know his address, hopefully we can report him somewhere.
