Also I'm I right in classing the system as TNC-S the only reason for me asking is that the cutout is old and I thought that TNS was a more popular earthing system.

Thanks again

Depends on whether the earth conductor is coming off the sheath, or tapped off the neutral. You can't really see from the pic.

You could try to confirm what earthing system it is by taking loop readings from line to earth and from line to neutral at the board, if they are very similar then the chances are it will be TN-C-S....
 
with the cut out like it is and the earth wire from the area its petruding i would say its a TNS , agree with pevvers do a test see what the readings are max 0.35 tncs or 0.8 tns
