Struggling to make out your description and photographs.

Is this not just two regular 2.5mm2 twin and earth cables??

hi sparkwright
No its not
its 2 lots of brown and blue no earth... the earth you can see is screwed in to a termnal on the socket and looped round one of the grey flex as in second pic. the 2 flex have NO earth in them

It's T&E that someone has stripped by pulling the CPC through the outer grey sheath, with both CPCs in the same piece of sleeving.

Hi Flameport
ok both of you have said twin and earth so I will take the whole thing off tommorow and look, theres no lecy to that part of house right now as plasterer coming in the morning so will have to wait for daylight.
Thank you both

A better camera might save you having to do anything.

Looks completely normal to me.

i think i could see the split in each of the outer sheaths were the T&E Earth cable would have been ripped back, thats how mine looked when i used to do wiring years ago.

Thanks to all who helped took socket off before plaster came it was twin and earth. just confused me as all other double sockets had 1 green and yellow going to each of the terminals.

For better or worse, unlike many others, this forum does not have such a facility.

Kind Regards, John

You have done that, with your final post. There is a Thanks and a Like button, on the lower right of each post, which might be invisible until you hover over the area, at least they are invisible on my system..

They are not invisible, at least not to me, but they are very feint until one 'hovers over the area'.

Kind Regards, John

Have you tried the one on your phone? or is it ancient?
