Spur Problem

Is the socket in the dining room no longer required?
As you will have noticed by the replies given, that a straight forward question, does not have a straight forward solution.
If the circuit is a radial it could stay, but you would need to confirm this.
 
Luckily, the distance between the two is minimal so should be easy to just pull the cable out. Thanks for the interesting discussion, lots for me to try and understand.
Fair enough. No-one has said this in so many words but if you wanted to retain the dining room socket (as well as the kitchen one), you could do that by inserting a 13A FCU in the feed to the kitchen socket (if you have access) - provided that it was acceptable to you that the total load on both sockets (kitchen and dining room) would then be limited to 13A.

Kind Regards, John
 
Just to clarify, it is the dinning room DSO that I am considering removing, sorry for any confusion...
Yes, as you will realise, that's what I assumed. Quite apart from anything else, removing the kitchen one but retaining the dining room one would be less than straightforward (although obviously not impossible).

Kind Regards, John

Indeed. That (or a connector block, which may be easier for you to spell) is the sort of solution - but, as I said, it's not as straightforward as just removing the dining room socket and, in any event, I rather doubt that the OP would want to lose a kitchen socket.

Maybe not in so many words but been touched on once or trice!

Exactly - that was my point. Since the OP has honesty admitted:
... lots for me to try and understand.
...I thought it might be helpful to him if I did say it 'in so many words'.

Kind Regards, John
 
Seemingly not - but I think he was probably questioning how I knew that the OP probably wouldn't want to lose a kitchen socket. Of course, I don't know that for sure, but I don't suppose many people would want that!
Very likely but we have conclusive evidence that the spelling of wago is beyond him/her!
Only pulling your lig knowall, I can't smell either
 
OK, i should have said connector block …… yes, it is accessible !

:D
