Earths are thinner so all fit into the double socket.

Thanks for the advice.

I havent yet calculated the correct MCB sizes for all the circuits,
some are still evolving.

There's still one old rubbery wire to a light switch!

well when my cousin and I found that sort of wiring in our
Grandmothers house in the 1970's, just looking at it seemed to
make all the exposed rubber just crumble away to dust. Cousin
(GPO apprentice) did an emergency rewire + new CU.

Thanks for advices

When we moved into this house in 1977, some of the wiring was lead
sheathed -with a live sheath! That was in the bathroom !

Mine had loads of lead too, but nominally earthed. Bare copper wire
wrapped round the lead at any joints, etc, and connected to the mains
water pipe by the fusebox.

Where a connection had been made, the insulation was a bit fragile. But
cut the cable back a bit (out of curiosity) and it was in perfect
condition.
