So Back To My Question? Do We Know Of Any Supplier Who Stocks The New Colour Codes, In The Form Of Wiring, Sleeving, Or Insulation Tape :x Go On... Dare Yourself To Give Me a Straight Answer :roll: And Don't Sidetrack Yourself With The CAPITALS, :evil:

Perhaps the 16a MCB used to supply an Immersion heater before the boiler was fitted, And some one has changed it to a single socket circuit? :roll:
