There's another pet hate, more than 1 CPC in shared sleeving , and back boxes full of rubble. :rolleyes:

Plus it makes no sense to me, I've obviously never done it but I can't imaging it's an easier way of terminating them. Surely it's fiddly to get multiple conductors into one sleeve.

even worse when they're twisted together.
 
Any idea how i would wire this from the white to the metal?

Looking to rewire a single light switch from the white standard switch to the metal switch. But the backing are labled different
That's because the switches are different and have different purposes, the top switch is a 1 gang two way lighting switch.
The one shown in your next picture is a DP double pole 20Amp switch, which is usually used to switch say a water heater or something similar, both switches operate in a different way.
 
@Allan It would have been better to start a new topic, instead of hijacking somebody elses.:rolleyes: But we are here now.

It may be possible to use the 20A DP switch you have bought, can you reveal how the wires were connected to the white switch?
 
It would be best to get a replacement 1 gang two way switch instead of the double pole switch, but connecting Brown to L1 and blue (sleeved brown) to L2 and earth to the earth terminal on the new switch will work.
