Been working on a 1970's flat this week and it's wired in this stuff : Singles and 'sort of' old style plastic semi flexible conduit. The thing is the ring looks like they've only wired the cpc in 1mm !!

(Whoops I've posted this in the wrong forum - please could one of the moderators move to 'general electrical forum' for me please)

Quite possibly only 1mm, you'll just have to take it into account for expected results when testing the circuit. It looks like solid core singles as well.
 
Yes it is 1mm earth, recently rewired a number of these properties, speaking to one of the older blokes at work these were wired mid 70s. The outer sheathing was alledgedly used to enable the property to be rewired without causing any damage - not that i would like to try
 
Funny you posting those pics I've been working with the same stuff last couple of weeks.
