Actually, thinking about it, it might just be regarded as compliant

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.

in the garage so that 30 amp one in the workshop is a red herring
really.

Is it about now someone will start quoting the reg that forbids this set up.
