You missed where I asked why the black (N) is looped. I already thanked the respondent's for their input, I just asked one more question, but it's gotten lost in this argument.
Lighting circuits were originally charged at a cheaper rate for lights only. The name has stuck. Some people cheated of course and used bayonet adapters with their irons, vacuum cleaners, toasters etc.

Those days are long since gone. We're not discussing history or semantics but, rather the question as to why BS7671 thinks that we now/still need to make a distinction between 'lighting' and 'power' circuits. What useful purpose does that distinction serve in 2017?
I remember being told that seeing white cables meant someone had done a bodge job. But that was over 20 years ago and looks like that's no longer the case. Thanks.
It does. However, if it's not a CPC what other possibilities are there?? The other half of the cable confirms that it does have red+black+CPC and, in any event, I would doubt that a black+black+red flat cable (seemingly, then, with no bare CPC) ever existed.
