I dont, this just demonstrate's lack of knowledge/adhering to basic craft principles that we are all taught in circuit design, far too much of this do as you likey attitude trying to be smart, and its shows with the amount of questions/ query's that get posted on here trying to find a work around.I agree, and maybe even argue it would be OK on a B20 MCB (subject to max Zs and voltage drop being OK). I like creative circuits that don't follow the expected norm!
Regardless of any alteration being subjected to Part P, and you are correct, but how many of todays DIYers will bother with part P? " please come and mend my electrics", "" 20 quid love OK"" we all know that many will just swap the OCPD as a matter of keeping the power on an booger Part P. my argument still stands, as far as I'm concerned.Aubergine?
I will skip the emoticon for obvious reasons

Back to the OP, it is unusual as you say but not unsafe. My own flat was on a 20A rewirable (originally, then MCB) for the RFC but sensible enough of 2.5mm T&E and never had issues of tripping without 13A fuses blow. C3 folks?
The argument about it being modified to be unsafe by changing to 32A MCB is a bit dubious as anyone doing that ought to be covered by Part P regulations (I guess, not in my backward/forward region) and they damn well should know better!
Don't often disagree with you Mate, but on this I do, although the cable as you say is good for 19Amps on a 16 A breaker should be OK, what would happen if there is a lot of nuisance tripping, due to people overloading the 16 Amp OCPD and someone decided to up the OCPD to a32 Amp OCPD, sorry to be at odds with someone I admire but in this case I think you are wrong, change to a 20 A radial or 32 A RFC wired in N 2.5mm2 cable
