Yes, totally agree, it's a bit sailing close to the wind!
I am un easy with flex, as hard wiring anyway. Just MO
I wonder why flex on a crp is only 0.75 if the minimum is 1mm on a lighting circuit,bit silly init..

The problem is that the minimum size cable for a lighting circuit is 1mm, and there are specific requirements about the type of flex or other protection to be used if flex is to be used as an installed cable.
could you just expand on what you mean by "other protection to be used if flex is to be used as an installed cable", surely if it's got a PVC outer like twin and earth has, and has insulated conductors inside, just like twin and earth, why would it require "other protection" when it's the same thing but a different shape?
im not looking to pick your comment apart, but more looking for clarity as I can't quite understand where you are going...
521.9.1I'll just go and get the book...
It's a strange one actually, Reg 422.3.201 says suitably protected against mechanical damage, but it's strange how it doesn't say a word about suitable protection if it's twin and earth which is just a different shape...
