Was doing some work for a customer (just replacing a couple of damaged double sockets) and he said he had thought of changing the light switches because they were discoloured. The switch he showed me had a white twin and earth going into it and then leaving. The earth wire was unbroken sleeved in green and connected to the earth terminal those confirming one run of wire. The neutral was just cut with 2 very short ends, one so close to the white sleeving it was difficult to see initially. The live was just cut fed into common and L1. It all works fine and he has no problems. I didn't have time to look at the ceiling rose but have been trying to figure it out. Should have said single switch to bedroom light. I assume the wire in fed from the common and the one out is switch live but why run it in such a manor? Instead of one length of T+E there will be twice the length. It is not a problem was just wondering as I had not seen it before. I did suggest I did some insulation resistance testing to confirm the wiring was still upto the job and I would go back and properly inspect before changing the switch plates. I am sure lots of you will know straight away if I am completely wrong or not.
