I'm glad we got on to this 'cos I've always wandered about it. My

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.


That times well with my parents' house, wired in that stuff and built
late 60s; '67 IIRC.

On the other subject, the house has earthed, loop-in lighting.

Hwyl!
