i have a cooker circuit that when switched off at the mcb , still shows a voltage with my volt stick. i put my megger on it and it shows a voltage of about 40 volts. I dont need to use this cable cz there are 2 cooker circuits. Any ideas as to why i am getting a voltage? Could it be a faulty mcb?

Volt sticks - good for fixing mains xmas tree lights too.
Could it be your megger is a high impedance voltage meter?
What happens if you connect a low impedance across L&N say by using a test lamp and then measuring the voltage again with the megger?
