Lighting circuits and possible cross-over

so do i win the kettle?

There is no tripping issue, as neither CB’s have tripped at all.
It’s only when either one CB is off and the other is on.
So Westward wins the toaster
Will keep you updated...

Whereabouts in the UK are you situated?

It was part of an offer to help, jim_e_ jib so why the dumb post?

Nope - the wooden spoon!

 

[Octopus]

OP - is this the switch you asked about moving a few months ago?

 

[Gary Tollison]

Lol the wooden spoon wasn’t considered, but it might be now!

Murdoch, no it isn’t the switch I was asking about morning. Still haven’t done that yet

Am in Peterborough.
I’m not sure how long it’s been like this, I only discovered it recently by chance when I changed a lightswitch like for like. And yes I got the wires in the correct holes

So it worked before ............. human intervention can create issues.

Sorry if this isn't what you want to hear.

 

[Gary Tollison]

Westward, you are the winner of a nice, brand new shiny toaster!
The issue was indeed cross-over.
I checked the switch again, (after safe isolation and testing) and discovered I had somehow managed to get two wires swapped.
So, after rectifying my goof, (and more testing), all is working well again, and there is no longer any weird switching issues when either CB is tripped!
Thanks for all y'all's input!
Cheers,
Gary

So my offer of help wasn't ever required then Gary, thanks for letting me know.

Edited that for you ..............

 

[Gary Tollison]

Pete, I did say that if I did need help I would let you know.
But I managed to sort the issue out myself, and I did thank you for the offer.
I do apologise if I have offended you in any way.
