You weren't the fella who installed meter cos he didn't answer the question either lol

Meter fitters only know that the brown wire goes in the hole with an 'L' next to it and the blue wire goes where the 'N' is.

They even get that confused at times too.... lol!!

The simple answer to your question is, .....none of them are sparks these day's, or very very few of them!!! So don't expect them to be able answer any question. Most at best get a day or two of training before being let loose on the world... lol!!!

You may find one or two with a 17th ed but nothing much more.

They use different Regulations from us, because no one other than someone authorised is allowed to work on their systems.
However in this instance, both sets of Regulations have essentially the same requirements.
If their Regulations only require 16mm² conductors, then so do ours.
Conversly, if our Regulations require 25mm253 conductors then theirs will as well.
