Default Wiring a socket

Hello,

Basic question this, but I have seen different ways, so which is right?

When wiring a socket on a ring circuit there are obviously two wires for
each terminal. So when connecting should you:

1) Just push both wires of the same type (L/N/E) into the correct
terminal and tighten.

2) The same as 1) but bend over the end of each wire first.

3) Twist both wires of the same type (L/N/E) together and push into the
correct terminal and tighten.

4) The same as 3) but bend over the end of each wire first.

Also what are the advantages/disadvantages of each method?

Thanks,

Graham
