Well at least its nicely labelled!

And to clear up the white outer sheathing thing before we "harmonised" with Europe Twin and Earth cable only came with a white sheath. When we harmonised, the sheathing become Grey, then later LSF appeared with a b******d to strip white sheath! :mad:

6242Y and 6243Y T&E has had a grey sheath for as long as I can remember. It was circa 1998 when I first noticed white-sheathed 6242Y and 6243Y T&E on sale at Wickes. Prior to that I had never seen anything other than grey-sheathed 6242Y and 6243Y T&E. 6242B LSF has always had a white sheath.
 
I started in this game in 1983. (15th edition red book;)) we only ever had white T&E until the harmonised cables came out. (2004) Maybe it was a southern thing??

Nothing wrong with southern things :D

This was how my grandmas house was wired (built 1965) all the lights and switches had one cable (TRS no cpc) going back to a box in the loft, even the sockets were wired as a spider! My parents house (built 1972) was wired the same, although with pvc t & e.

Our house was built around that time and the upstairs lights are wired back to a central junction box all labelled up inside eg light bed 1 switch 1 etc. Pete note:- all clipped with metal buckle clips. It had has Volex stamped on it.
 
Yeah, in my grandmas house, the cables were in a j box with BICC on it and the connections were made with screwits.
In my parents the sockets are joined with line tap connectors and wrapped up with tape, no box!!
