I'm glad we got on to this 'cos I've always wandered about it. My
parents' house was built in 1960. The power is in T&E (but stranded not

7/029". But TW&E in this size was in rubber before PVC, and then for a few
years before metrication. Which I can't remember when exactly, but about
'70.

I remember 7/029 only too well, not easy to work with and only too
easy to get the odd strand sticking out. I only ever really used
7/029 PVC T&E so I think it places it around the late 1960s and early
1970s.
