as long as the breaker is rated so that Ib<In < Iz (of the smallest csa cable), it's fine.

Spurring off is ok obviously

Then you have fixed loads immersion etc where the CSA may be smaller than the fixed wiring and also accessories such as pendants where the wiring is smaller which is ok

If you take the cover off a DB and there's a 6 sq connected into a 20 amp MCB because someone has downrated the final circuit somewhere along it's length

Well I don't agree with that

If there's a schedule with the circuit details on, I don't see a problem.
 
If you're doing the job you leave a schedule at the db.

Anyway, If I find a 6mm in a 20amp breaker, I think there must be a reason?
If someone just says 'that's wrong. I'm gonna change it to a 30amp' it's a damn site more shoddy and a lot more bad practice, I reckon.
Fair enough ok

This was a job done for a customer of mine a week ago, the building contractor used their own electrician as the quoted work was all inclusive. Oh dear, I wonder which circuits are new??

Were you trained by Artisan Electrics Drilling Company by any chance?
 
… there's a light switch we can't take off because like your pictures, some ***wit tiled around it.
There are some elements of some trades that I really 'kin hate.

* One day I'll carefully rake out the grout around it, but then it'll need a spacer frame grouting in as the tiles won't be behind it to screw it down onto.
Yup, it’s a shame there isn’t something like an nice-looking oversize grid plate available for exactly this issue. Like you can get to reduce the huge holes where giant cfl or PAR ceiling lights once sat.
