Is the neutral on this circuit connected to the correct Neutral bar in the CU?

I've wired in some lights from scratch. Unfortunately when I turn on the 6A MCB with the light switches in the "On" position, the MCB trips. When the lights switches are off, it doesn't trip, as soon as they are turned on, trip!
I wired one 1.5mm cable from the CCU to the first light. Brown in middle feeds part of pendant, Blue in neutral part of pendant, Earth to earth (feed in). Second Cable out of first pendant in same connections as above, brown to feeds, blue to neutrals, earth to earth for "feed out". Last cable down to the light switch, where I took the brown to the feed connector block to take 230v to the switch and I put the blue in the "live" part of the pendant and sleeved it brown. Earth to earth.
What have I done wrong here? Thought I was getting this but I am now just confused. Or do I have faulty switches? They are 1G switches. Brown in common, blue in L1.
Sorry if this is so easy for some of you but I am still learning and feel very stupid that I don't know the solution! Thanks
OK I will check the neutral bars in the morning. It is a split loaded board
Lights, cooker, ring kitchen on one side
Smokes, Ring, boiler on other.
Is there a way I can IR the switch line to see if a screw has gone through it?
