unusual ceiling rose wiring

[sijaysee]

Hi
i was just painting my ceiling and unscrewed the ceiling rose to cut in and noticed that the wiring doesn't look quite right.
there are 3 cables so i assumed 1 in, 1 out and the switch. There are 3 reds in the centre block, 1 black in the 2 gang block with the neutral of the light, and 2 blacks in the other 2 gang block with the live of the light.
Any ideas?
many thanks Si

a picture tells a thousand stories!

however, I would assume that the black connected to the "neutral" is actually the switched live and the 2 blacks connected to the "live" and the true neutrals in and out plus supplying this light.

what's more unusual is you didn't mention any earths

Its ok its just a case that the live and neutrals of the light are the wrong way around i think

There are no earths, it looks like very old wiring

Make sure there's no metal switches then or light fittings
