I have 3 at present. One for the kitchen and two others but the other
two serve not the ground and first floors but the North and South sides
of the house.

Am I storing up trouble for some hapless professional electrician in the
future by not sticking to the usual format. I could with some difficulty
shift to floor based rings but the number of sockets and potential loads
would then be nowhere near as equal.

The electricians guide doesn't touch on floors (only areas) but does
suggest equal shares between circuits.

No problem whatsoever. No need to change anything.

Indeed, my preference for lighting circuits is alternate rooms, so you've
got a working light nearby when the MCB pops. With socket circuit, this
isn't such a major advantage, but it isn't a problem.

Just call them 'A' and 'B', or even 'North' and 'South'.

I think somewhere by the CU I'd write a list of which rooms are on each
circuit. Just to be sure.

Currently listed as North Side and South Side.

The living room and 2 of the bedrooms are served by both N and S.

It's a requirement of BS 7671 to do so - see reg. 514-09-01, or page 39
in the OSG.
