Lighting Junction box in loft with 9 cables in??

[ManchesterKirchoff]

Doing a rewire at the minute and was wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of a lighting circuit being connected somewhere in an installation with 8/9 cables connected.

I’m an apprentice so I’m curious about most things and was wondering if you was to do an EICR how you would code this and would you immediately suggest rewiring that particular circuit?

An original “spaghetti” joint there, @freddo

Here's one I did a few years back. Yes I could probably do it better now but it is what it is. I printed and laminated a chart and stuck it to the inside of the lid. The wiring is easy enough to follow though as the wire numbers are fitted at the switches, the various splitting joint boxes and all the lights throughout.

That looks like the body of an old wylex fusebox repurposed into some mashed up junction box thing
