You are correct. It would, nt be dangerous as the mcb will simply trip when overloaded. However, would it be good practice? No. Would it likely cause inconvenience for the homeowner? Almost certainly at some pointI'm not saying I would do this because I wouldn't install like this, but I am going to play devils advocate.
Which regulations does such an arrangement breach?
And how would two ring final circuits installed in accordance with the regulations connected to the same 32A MCB be dangerous?
As I say I wouldn't do it, except as a temporary measure to restore supply, so I'm just curious about the thought process behind the statements.

Here's to "Ring circuits" one of the dinaosaurs of the electrical industry. Don't wish to offend anyone but having operated in one of possibly only 2 countries that actually use this wiring method I would hope that threads like this speed up its demise and finally put it out of its misery. It never deserved centre stage and was never going to be able to upstage its bigger brother on the world stage.. the Radial circuit. That said I have used it occasionally. It can in certain circumstances be a "get out of jail card".What's a "mini ring"?
