The switch is for two sets of bulbs in the kitchen. There is fire alarm in the hallway outside the kitchen.
Miswired light switch

Looks like T&E to me.
A bit odd but no problem.
Oh yes maybe, it looked round when I first looked
The back box is plastic and nowhere to connect the earths. The earth conductors are sleeved and not exposed on the cut end. I suppose that's good enough?
Google says T&E is travel and expenses. I am sure that isn't the meaning here
They should be in a connector, but it won't make a difference if you leave them as they are.....I assume the sleeving is longer than the wire so they wont touch anything.
Wouldn't really matter if they were both separate if they are just 2 earths coming from different lights.

Are you sure that is the correct diagram this
will also work, note the bulb holder live is at both switches, so could be taken from the first switch.

No. The actual diagram would be a 1 way switch connected to the bulb directly. It wasn't obvious to me at the beginning where the neutral was. I thought it was in the switch.
They are separate in the back box. Since the house builder did that, I can assume that's proper because nothing else is wrong.
