If the red and black are 2.5 and the earth is 1.5 then that's standard twin and earth for a 32amp ring circuit. If you have red and black in 1.5 connected to red and black 2.5 it would suggest a very dodgy lighting circuit or an equally dodgy spur for a socket.

Have often wondered how these bodges happen. In my opinion rewiring a a whole house/flat is very easy. The hard bit with wiring is fault finding.
The last few places I have rewired I have covered the wiring in galvanized capping. Making sure the the wire can still pulled through to be replaced, seems that every place I get involved with has poor wiring.
What do you think of these:
