What is wrong with this light rose wiring!?

[IronAngus]

Hello, really hoping you good people could help solve this problem that's been bugging me for over a week now.

Recently changed all the sockets & light fittings in my home only because the previous ones were looking a little old-hat & worn out. All fitted & working fine with no problem; until I come to the final light rose in the spare room.
Tried wiring the same as previous as best as I can but to no avail. Searched Google for several diagrams and followed them but still no function.
I think the confusion is that this fitting has both old & new UK wiring colours but I am just guessing at this stage!

Please check the attached pictures and help me light my spare room again

There is no like button but it seems Sparkychick has devised a method for doing so, I would like this but I don't know how

I would like this but I don't know how

Under someone's post, right click on "bookmark" and select "Open link in new tab".
Then, in the URL at the top, remove the word "bookmark" and type in "like".
Then press return. It will ask you if you are sure first. Done.

Yeah... Think I will just call a local Spark in the morning :/
Appreciate the responses.
As I'm here; do you know (ballpark) how much I would pay for a job like this??
Never needed a Spark until now so am in the dark (no pun).

Provided there are no other issues this is a simple fix for any decent spark, so shouldn't cost much.

On ipad try copying and pasting the link and then changing the end.

Hi, just had a peek with a torch.
The flex goes to a mini flourescent/vanity light on a fitted wardrobe with it's own pull cord/switch.
There is only one light switch in the room & no other lights in the house are affected by this not being wired in.

(my bold) The other lights are not effected because the (live)cables are twisted together and making a connection. Though functional it is poor practice to leave them this way and they really need to be terminated correctly asap. Be aware that some of these cables are still live even with the light switch turned off.

For all those that don't have them yet, clear your browser cache and try forcing a page reload. Could be your browser is using cached scripts or content. In FireFox, it's Ctrl+F5 or F5 I think to force a reload.

They only appeared for me last night at about 9:30 (or at least that's when I noticed them).

Looks like you can only use one at a time.
