I was about to order 1.5 mm wire for lighting before the Tuesday VAT
rise when I noticed in Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting page 26 :
[LENGTHS: if the company fuse is larger than 60 amps, 25mm2 meter
leads are required]
But I have never seen any other mention of this.
So can I not use 1.5 mm wire?

Yes - you're right, I'm wrong.
( I wont do wiring when hungover.)
Looking again I have found what confused me:
bad layout of the page,
The wording about LENGTHS at the bottom of the middle column
in fact follows from the bottom of the lefthand column on Cable
Sizes,, not down from the middle column.

Party on mate. There is nothing wrong with getting ****faced and making a
mistake.
