I am old enough to remember wire colours before blue for neutral, brown

Not that long ago. The cables in my flat (not flexes) are mostly in
these colours with a warning sticker at the consumer unit saying two
colour systems are in use.



For fixed wiring in a domestic house the colours of red, green and black
last for far longer than for cables for appliances....... think the
former must have been early 2000s and the latter late 70's/early 80's?

1970
