That's brilliant. Thank you for your help - I will try and find someone with a meter I can borrow.

I am in serious danger of becoming competent at this stuff!
 
Competent or not, be mindful of what you do with the unused Earth and Neutral wires. If they join it could trip an RCD in the consumer unit, and in any case, all unused wires should be either terminated safely (ie, connected to dummy terminals) or disconnected at the other end. Good practice to leave earth wire connected as it protects the cable.
