I wouldn't anticipate anybody following up all of them.He certainly ought to know an awful lot by the time he's worked his way through that lot ... that Google search appears to result in ('about') 2,460,000 hits
Maybe some slightly more specific (and slightly more restricted) guidance as regards reading/learning would be a little more helpful for him?
So you think he replaced his garage, which must have involved replacing the cables, but doesn't know which of the cables he replaced go to the lights, and which go to the sockets?I am reading this as the OP having cut the three grey cables leading in and out of the box, no longer knows which is the incoming power, and the outgoing 5amp and 15 amp cable.
There's a thick red wire and a thin red one. Not sure where the problem lies. Thick = power = 15A.

Of course not - but if I am being advised what to read, I don't expect to be presented with a list of ~2.5 million posibilities and left to try to work out which are the 'key' ones I ought to look at! Anyone capable of getting to this forum and posting is message is undoubtedly also capable of doing Google searches without your help. If we are to help them at all in the way you would like, we should, IMO, provide them with a short list of recommended reading.I wouldn't anticipate anybody following up all of them.

But you have got rid of all the old cables, and installed new.OK. Middle wire feeds switch. Left hand is 5A (light)wire & Right hand 15A wire I presume fed the socket.
But in replacing it it becomes your responsibility. You can't copy what was there before, as that might have been wrong.To put it simple I only want to replace what was already placed by the electrician before I lived here not change in any way.
Help needed albeit not "ban all sheds "
Which part of "by whose authority?" do you not grasp?
