It's 3-phase cable without a neutral.

If you are using it for a single phase+neutral supply then, strictly
speaking, it is the wrong stuff. It would be a pity to waste it, so I
would suggest that you use it as follows:
brown = live
black with blue sleeving = neutral
grey with green/yellow sleeving = earth
Note: you must sleeve the conductors at both ends.
You must also earth the armour (via a proper cable gland for wire armour,
but at 2.5mm2 I suspect that you have braided cable so cable entry is via
a stuffing gland and take the braiding to an earth terminal).
It's wire armour, and Wickes sells the glands
for that, on the shelf over the cable.
Thanks.
