My house is a 1950s 2 story semi.
I am connecting one fluorescent downstairs kitchen light in parallel with
another fluorescent, without taking up any more upstairs floorboards.


You should find a terminal block in the current fitting, which has
live neutral and earth terminals. Don't cut anything, just run a new
cable from this to the new fitting.

You have informed John Prescott I take it.
