can anyone help to interpret these ring main readings

end to end tests
L-L 0.46
N-N 0.45
E- E 0.30

The ring is wired in 2.5 mm twin + earth 1.5mm cpc so reading on cpc continuity should be higher dont know why this is .

further tests

x-link L - N 0.23 0.23 0.23 0.23 0.24 0.25 0.22 0.24
x-link L - E 0.26 0.28 0.18 0.27 0.28 0.26 0.21 0.30

Is it included in supplementary bonding? Dual box used for 2 accessories on different legs of the ring?
 
FIrst time I found that sort of "odd" reading was : -

First socket on one leg was in a bedroom with a bond to the taps of the wash-basin. First item on the other leg was the FCU to the boiler. Various 15 mm copper pipes parallel to the CPC.
