[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 803275, member: 325666"] ..Just out of curiosity ...If a house owner with a ring main which includes sockets at skirting board level ...request an additional socket fitted ...and this additional socket has to be fitted at least a foot higher .. How is this done without replacing entire sections of that ring mains wiring ??? It would simply be too short ... So ..if the fitting of another socket then requires additional changes in wiring ..this also might then require re-plastering ...or even re-decorating ...and gawd forbid ..a full re-wire ... The only other way would be junction boxes under the floor boards ..with longer leads to accomodate the higher placed sockets ..which is more dangerous imo ..than a low level just above skirting board socket.. ...Oh wait ...I see ...its another example of built in obsolescence isn't it.. Or A classic example of job creation .. Not unlike the old joke ...lets get a team of men to dig holes in the road ...for no good reason ...that way we can create another team to follow them round and fill them in again.. That'll reduce the dole queue ... :D [/QUOTE]
