Saw something today -
I'm putting a few new s/o in on a ring main in a flat. The ring main is on a 30A push-in breaker on an old wylex board, which comes out of the breaker, up a bit of twin and earth into a 'shower unit' type 1 way board with a 30mA 40A RCBO.

Now, although not best practice by any stretch of the imagination, is there anything actually wrong with this? The 30A protection is there from the push in breaker, and the 30mA RCD protection is there from the 40A RCBO. I'd rather not have to do so much - it's an old lady and she's not exactly loaded, but did say she was thinking about a new board 'next year'.
 
we are all in the same boat mate, this is common, there is nothing wrong,(even though it is s**t) as long as you can tick all the right boxes on your cert honestly and the main bonding is ok then don't worry
