It's proving difficult getting a date to do the fault finding, so I'm afraid there won't be an update any time soon. I will update though when I've been back.

I dont think so! Keep taking the pills if you think a screw has gone through 2 different cables. Im assuming you dont do much domestic stuff.This is different though. It's not a line from one circuit paired with a neutral from another, it's two different neutrals connected together. It's not something you would do even as a bodge and might be a true fault e.g. a screw through two cables.
What he means is there are two different scenarios:I dont think so! Keep taking the pills if you think a screw has gone through 2 different cables. Im assuming you dont do much domestic stuff.
I've seen where someone has put two cables one on top of each other to save on clips, notched in under floorboards, so it's certainly possible.I dont think so! Keep taking the pills if you think a screw has gone through 2 different cables. Im assuming you dont do much domestic stuff.
That is more of an interconnection than a borrowed neutral IMOWhat he means is there are two different scenarios:
A) no neutral there at all so one is stolen from elsewhere (like your conservatory light example)
B) two neutral conductors from different circuits are joined (what this thread is about and not really a borrowed neutral. All my ideas for what we could call this don’t get past the language filter….
There's really no need for that attitude - particularly towards such a highly respected member with more knowledge than you could ever get close to.I dont think so! Keep taking the pills if you think a screw has gone through 2 different cables. Im assuming you dont do much domestic stuff.
