NO
 
no reason why not

a spur properly installed is perfectly capable of taking an appliance that draws the full 13A

putting 2 high load applices in a double socket should not be done as they are only rated at 13A total (a fact that is not well known and imo is a dangerous flaw in the standards) this applies regardless of whether the double socket is on the ring or on a spur
