In my last house which had been partially rewired there was one large downstairs room that seemed to be on its own 30 amp ring with regards to the sockets. The strange thing was that the lights in that room would still be on when the lighting circuit fuses were pulled. The room had three sets of sockets on different sides and three ceiling light fittings with normal wall switches (no earths anywhere, twin only) - you've guessed it, the three light circuits were wired to the rears of the three sockets. It was a bit of a pig to find where this wiring ran and pull it all out and do it properly. House had been partially rewired by some amateur!
