I suppose realistically all sockets have the potential to be used for
outside use.

Our bedroom sockets power the xmas lights outside on the guttering.
All downstairs sockets have been used for extension cables, to power
the car battery charger, electric drill etc etc.

Why not use one of pluginable RCD's, so you can use it whereever you
go.

Had a single storey rear extension done a few months back and this obviously
included an extension to the mains ring. Is it true that wiring regs require
any socket that can be potentially used outside (extension lead) to be RCD
protected?
