Yep sorry, when i said 'wired it up like this' i meant lay the cables. I still have the cables sticking out of the socket backs waiting to be connected up.

Yeah I have. 2 in 2 out = 4 cables in each. I'm going to connect the socket fronts tonight. (I hope) :?

eh no probs. Yeah 2 cables through each hole in the socket mounting, not too bad. as for 4 wires into the socket terminals that has yet to be done, I was kinda curious about that myself. I'll let you know. P.s. I requested compensatory beers from my friend (he told me to get lost!)

don't be so negative ban all sheds. It wouldn't hurt to leave 2 cable runs in there if I was going to wire it up to the ring.

Paul I realise now that this is silly however i wired it up like this having been advised to do so buy a friend. Now the plasterer has been and plastered over my cable runs. It wouldn't bee too difficult to interupt the ring and make the spur part of it (as I should have done in the first place)...

There is a difference ban-all-sheds because as you said a 6-socket extension has 1 plug on the end so all 6 can only draw 13 amps. If my spur has 6 sockets i could draw 13 amps from each one! Obviously the main fuse would blow first but the point I am making is that by doubling up on the cable i...

Going back to what paul said rearlier, if i had a spur off a spur and doubled up on the cable. ie 2 X 2.5 mm cable then i can still draw up to 48 amps safley from those two spurs (assuming the main fuse would let me). it is effectivley a 48 Amp cable carrying capacity yet is still backed by a...
