My old boss when I was studying had fuse boxes in the unit. One day I noticed one of the larger load fuses was joined with 1mm wire lol I asked why, knowing this was seriously not right and he said it kept blowing with normal fuse wire ?‍♂️???

I've seen installations abroad, where three core black cable was pulled through and colour coded at connection.

Nothing wrong with that as long as it's done correctly.

Cheers.

The whole fuuckin house is like that ?

It’s messy! No earth, no back boxes, haphazard and it winds me up just knowing it exists less than 2m away from me?‍♂️?

Don't wire it like that you will get a bang short and trip your board. 

The com connection is live feed coming into the switch and l1 -2 is your live feed leaving the switch.  Depending on if its a 2 way lighting circuit or 1 way.
