You're welcome........Mark.......he, he. (from memory);)
 
HAHA, very good, hehe, that made me chuckle
 
You lot need to take a chill pill,worse things happen at sea, sausage what was I saying. Nope forgotten now. Maureen, need some help down here, now you gave me a tenner...........
 
Regarding whether the ring is 2.5 or 4.0, the best I can do is show pictures of the cables existing the consumer unit. The two thinner cables are lighting for the garage,

yep. need to contact percy the painter before the peeling paint gives you and your family cancer or chronic asbesto brick dust disease.
 
That's a bit rough, standard 20mm open grommets on the top of the enclosure = non compliant. It's not a major thing IMO but it indicates an attitude to the work that makes me wonder what else isn't great about the installation.
 
Were there any thoughts on whether the cabling was 2.5 or 4.0 based on pictures? Or too difficult to tell?

How about measuring the one you think is 4mm, it might give us a better idea. Does it not state the cable size on the cable?
