It makes no difference if you extend the ring or use a spur. You

There's nothing to stop a future occupier from plugging two kettles
in, though (I'm assuming it's a double socket). ;-)


Modern kettles are generally 10 amps maximum.


Really? Ours isn't more than a couple of years old & it's the full
13Â*A.
