Default Cable colours grrrrr

Started wiring up my kitchen ring tonight. Retrieved 50m reel of 2.5 t&e
from garage, ran first length. All nice and neat.

Lightbulb goes off.

Check the end of the cable.

Black and red. I've had this reel for quite some time. Go check the regs
and discover that I should have used it by March last year....

Rip it out[1], check garage. That's one reel of 6mm that's useless as
well. Pants. Not happy.
