Why's it come with two glands? I asked the chappy selling it if it needs a
separate feed to each socket and he replied saying "Yes I think you need two
feeds". After I sent the question to him I wondered if perhaps they gave you
two glands in case you wanted to daisy chain more than one together but
either scenario seems unlikely.
Any thoughts? Do two gang outdoor sockets generally have a separate feed to
each socket? Seems bloody silly to me.

Some of these can be wired independently - so you could for example wire
each to a different circuit (not that this would be a sensible thing in
most cases). Typically however you would normally just include internal
bridge wires to common both sockets.

So the only time you are likely to need the extra gland is when you need
to continue the circuit on to another accessory since you can't use two
cables in one gland.
