I'd run the earth wires from the cables direct to the sockets and put
a jumper from the sockets to the back box. I wouldn't be at all
suprised to find that you *have* to fit this jumper even with a
plastic back box.

It's about as much use as a fridge is to an Eskimo. ;-)


A fridge could be very useful to an Eskimo, to stop things freezing.
Might have to reverse the heat pump though. B-)


So you're the cause of global warming. ;-)
