is it only 1 socket that it trips on, or all the sockets in the room?

All the sockets in living room only, all other rooms are fine its bizzaare

Then it's prob the socket feeding and next outside the lounge that has a N/E reversal (most unlikely that they're all faulty in the one room).

If its all the sockets in the lounge i wouldnt be surprised if they were on some sort of radial / branch ?
the ones i've found often have a damp / rusty JB nearby.
