    Lighting earth issues - could I just run a fused spur from the power circuit

    Go ahead that way if difficult to access light circuit. Or you can borrow an earth off another circuit if easier. And be more logical when switching off circuits.

    Two-pin plug anyone (shaver style)

    Most oral B chargers I have seen, do have uk shaver plugs in them. Certainly getting that plug and base should not be a problem. Problems are more electrical. Ie if the cab has an isolation transformer, it’s not great to run it 24/7. Heat. Humming.

    Two-pin plug anyone (shaver style)

    EBay is the place for a used one. Depends on the age of the socket. 1960s aren’t comparable with euro

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    If the furthest socket is 25m away for the CU then I think that is a big old house rather than a normal/modern house.

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    Well, its obvious. If you want to plug the same load into the sockets. (for example a kitchen). Then a radial will either need to be 4 or 6mm And as an the op is more of a DIYer, its a bit silly to have to buy one real of 4mm when you can use 2.5mm on a ring. I'm sure you investigated 4mm...

    Grid switch multiply feeds ???

    Advice - First Fix Ring main or Radial?

    There are always arguments both ways on smoke alarms. But as this is fresh, you may as well run the supply back to the CU. You can do either then. I quote like having burglar alarm and smokes on the same rcbo. B6 You could even put the boiler on that too if you wanted to save money...
