The whole kit and caboodle of recent house wiring, Ring Main, 13A
mains sockets, 13A fused mains plugs, and appliance leads was
introduced to save copper during the early shortages after the war.

So they say.

That was true. The design has evolved since however. As luck would have
it, it turns out that ring circuits are very well suited to modern
usage patterns.

Would you care to elaborate on that? (Not disagreeing: just curious.)
