I am stuck putting my ceiling light back up. I have three thick grey cables coming out of the ceiling, two grey cables that each have a red and a green wire only (I assume they relate to the switches) and one grey cable with three wires, a red a black and a copper uncovered wire (which I assume is the source of power from the previous light.

I have the ceiling rose and have worked out it has a neutral terminal, a live terminal, and a switch terminal. I think the live wire from grey cable which has three cables goes to the live terminal in the middle, the black wire goes to the neutral terminal on the left and the copper wire (earth goes to the earth terminal ) Where I am stuck is how I connect the other wires from the other two grey cables to the ceiling rose. I probably should have taken more notice how they were connected when I took the light down. Any help would be most appreciated thanks ang
 
Cable A:
Red - live terminal
Black - neutral terminal
Bare - earth (this should have sleeving on it)

Cable B
Green - earth terminal
Red - live terminal

Cable C
Green - earth terminal
Red - switch terminal.

The light connects between the neutral and switch terminals.
