Recomendations and possible Causes
Might it be similar to polystyrene leaching the plasticiser from the PVC sheath of the cable but not going in far enough to actually destroy it or reach the cores, rather than overheating?- M-Ty

Radial wiring help
Your assessment of the likely load upstairs is going to be better than mine and a vital part of the design process, but I never have more than a couple of bedside luminaires (were 60W, now 10W LED) an alarm clock (4W) and a telly (32W) and DVD player (25W), so well under 1 amp for the lot...- M-Ty

It depends on whether the ring circuit is supplied through an RCD.- M-Ty

60s lamp overheating
It is supposed to use a "12V No. 93 car bulb" which is rated about 13 W, so it will overheat with a 21-W one.- M-Ty

Most obvious fault here
If 16mm tails have been in use by the same occupants for 50 years without showing distress, and there hasn't been any recent drastic change such as a new electric shower added or teenage grandchildren moving in, it seems a bit harsh to give anything worse than C3.- M-Ty

Supplementary bonding
It is actually directly proportional to the admittance. Or inversely proportional to the resistance if the reactance is negligible.- M-Ty

Non switched sockets
BS1363 plugs and sockests were only ever for AC. I suspect it was because the BS1362 fuses were unsuitable for DC. The 1947 sockets were unswitched, then there was a different British Standard for switched 13A sockets (BS2814:1957) that was later incorporated in BS1363.- M-Ty
