Is it really OK to run them between sockets horizontally?

I've never seen it done - people usually run up from the floor (or
down from the ceiling) to each sockets, even when a horizontal run
would be easier.


Hmmm... try this, from a property I did up not long ago (and yes, I did
completely rewire it!):

If this OK?


Yes, horizontal is fine

Not much choice if floor is concrete: just a couple of feet with the angle
grinder fills whole house up with incredible amount of plaster dust though!
