im running a spur off a hidden socket low in the kitchen. ive used 2.5mm clipped but dont want to pass through the wall with the new cable to enter the existing box. Is there anyway i can make a front entry. PS does the spur have to be fused??

why not ? it will look nice and you have to make a hole somewhere. and so long as the origonal socket is on the ring then no fuse required (as you are using 2.5mm t & e
 
Even though the Regs do not (yet) require it, it is wise to run the spur off a Fused Connection Unit (unswitched one will do), in order to protect the spur cable from potential fault current.

Fused Connection Unit can be used as the Junction Box.

YES, have a look at your pocket(s), the stitching at the bottom might have disintegrated - unless you went for the one with an (1 piece) Join-Less pocket !!!! HA HA :D :D :D :D :D :D....

OMG no! thank you so much for telling me this..you have saved my life..

like i care about my pockets, they can be repaired or i could even buy a new pair of trousers!!!
 
You foolish man - how could you buy a new pair of trousers if you had lost all of your money, recreational pharmaceuticals and marbles out of the pocket of the old pair?

Act now - reinforce your pockets with 7/.029 VIR before it is too late....
