I know how it feels in this heat.
The new harmonised electricity is looking for brown and blue cables on its way to the load, sees only red and black, and heads back to source. However the other half of the wave is obviously reversed so it's looking for things the other way round and actually gets to the load, resulting in a flicker every half wave.
So you can "see" old cables by looking at the lights, but you have to look very quickly.
you have got something there. as current flow is higher on the surface of a conductor, it's the surface lectrons ( which do the bright bit) see brown and blue, so become confused, whereas tor electrons in the centre (which do the dim bit) can't see the colours so they keep going as normal. hence intermittent brightness results in flicker.
time for another one.

I seriously had a customer tell me something similar once.
She had taken down a light in her kitchen and left all the wires exposed and live for about 3 weeks.
She asked me to put up a new fitting and also figure out why the second kitchen light wouldn't work. :|
She was ok to have it all rewired though because she knew the brown/blue wires wouldn't work with the red/black ones in the ceiling. They needed the "new electric" like the bloke in the pub she knows who knows about these things had told her.

The Dark-Sucker Theory
For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark-Suckers.
The Dark-Sucker Theory and the existence of dark-suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier than light.
First, the basis of the Dark-Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark-Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark-Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark-Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in this room.
As it is with all things, Dark-Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark-Sucker.
A candle is a primitive Dark-Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark-Suckers is their limited range.
There are also portable Dark-Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark-Sucker can operate again.
Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark-Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark-Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle-type Dark-Sucker.
Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. This is why it is called light.
Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.
Next time you see what is called an electric bulb, remember that it is really a Dark-Sucker.

The guy is ripped.?
and intelligent dark suckers are now available. they suck dark all night long then, in the early dawn, when the birds sing, they vent the darkness into the sky, thus causing the sky to go dark after the sun has sunk into the atlantic due to the weight of darkness.The Dark-Sucker Theory

Vulcanised indian rubber I believe. Old cable covered in rubber insulation topped off with a rubber outer sheath.
Over time the rubber dries out, gets cooked or whatever and becomes brittle. Once it's at that stage, you can crack it by moving the cables and it will just fall off.

Yes give that Lady a prize, horrible stuff. Remember it well during my early days as an Apprentice, TRS was another one TRS Tough Rubber Sheath I think it was.
