Can anyone explain this - strange wiring?

[Cadgey123]

Ah! The classic loop in system wiring, confuses them every time!

How to confuse a ground worker?
Lay two spades up against the wall and tell him to take his pick.

How to confuse a DIY spark?
LOOP IN wiring

To be fair I am shocked and at a loss you are asking this question, and you plea for assistance is even more appalling, god help our industry.

Mike, I don’t think the op is a spark .... but they clearly have something to hide as they had chosen to conceal their profile from everybody .....

Is this valid or should I rewire it so that the three lives connect to live and the three neutrals connect to neutral.

If you so that the light will be permanently on until you throw the switch and then the fuse/breaker will go.

There seems to be 3 lots of live/neutral/earth. I saw this when I removed the old chandelier.
Problem is, it seems that the three neutrals were not connected to anything and of the three lives, 2 were connected to live and 1 to neutral?!

Is this valid or should I rewire it so that the three lives connect to live and the three neutrals connect to neutral.

Please help urgently!

Many thanks

Why is it urgent? What was the original job?
Wiring is pretty much standard but fitting should be earthed.
It's clear from the way you asked the question and the suggestion you made that you should NOT be undertaking this work and you pose a danger.

If the op had noticed one of the neutrals has a bit of marker tape on it it has been re identified as a switched hot
Any spark would know this.
Our wires are colored different but it's the same procedure.
To the OP please have a proper spark change It, It will be a lot safer for you
