Live wire to neutral terminal and vice-versa (not that a bulb cares)


Well spotted - though on that type of fitting, it probably doesn't
matter - compared to say an ES older style.

Earth wire not connected to earth terminal


That was the first one I saw...


No grommet where T&E passes through metal knockout


Debatable? The metal looks like it is turned over for a smooth edge. But
it never does any harm to have a grommet

given how much slack T&E there is, the chock-block and 3" of wire (not
even flex) is quite pointless


That didn't even occur to me - but now you've said it, yes: why the choc
block???
