Ok o noticed a question on here before I'm looking at replacing my porch and in doorway switch with a smart switch so it can be turned on by app when we are away from house and coming home...very dark doorway.. the light switch is wired over the live feeds .. And the switch I have purchased needs a neutral connection .. the neutral is within the socket housing but obviously connected together .. can i take a spur off these grouped neutrals to wire up the switch ..

Assuming those blacks are neutral then yes. You can remove the existing connector by twisting it off and all three with a bit of trimming should fit into the N terminal. Even though they probably are neutrals without testing there is no guarantee.
 
Just noticed those cables have no cpcs hence that back box is not earthed.
 
No they haven't. Electrics are on the old side . Switch is all wired up now .. cheers .. now trying to connect to to Alexa. .......
 
Might be an idea to get your electrics checked out because those cables having no cpcs could prove in some circumstances to be hazardous.
