I was reading this thread

Chris Lewis said it was used only in the UK.
Just wondering.
Thanks, Tony


They are very common for outlets circuits in the UK. Wikipedia has more
than you want to know:

A major feature is the wire has a current rating less than the ring
circuit rating because there are 2 paths back to the panel. As Wikipedia
tells you, they came out of post WW2 rebuilding.
