Actually, thinking about it, it might just be regarded as compliant anyway
(although certainly not best practice). Because you are allowed to assume
13A from a double socket, the maximum current flowing can be assumed to be
below 26A. A single 2.5mm clipped direct can carry this. It is still vastly
superior to fold back into a ring.

.... but it turns out that the whole thing is protected by a 20 amp MCB
in the garage so that 30 amp one in the workshop is a red herring
really.
