Which is preffered (maybe neither) from the two options below...
1. Single 13A sockets (switched) located underneath the worktop, wired into the kitchen ring (not on spurs)
2. Single 13A sockets (no switch on actual socket) located underneath the worktop, connected to the kitchen ring via switched fused spur with switches located above the worktop directly above the socket.
All too often I see option 1. Electrically some may argue that its superior as its 'in the ring'. However, most of the time you need to pull the appliance out of its hole in order to switch off, not ideal.
Option 2 seems much more sensible to me.
