Length of cable in back box

UK readers may not care but North American regulations require that the length of such insulated conductors be not less than 6 Inches (150 mm), and I agree with that.

Maybe so.But their backboxes are around 50mm deep so there is much more room.

I've seen "professional" jobs where there is only enough length to form the wires to go in the terminals, slip the socket on, and "just" get a screwdriver in to tighten the terminal screws. And the ceiling roses had wires that wouldn't have stood cutting back and re-terminating.
