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
13 A.


The vast majority use the standard kettle connector. Rated at 10 amps.

Surely the vast majority are cordless now, no connector of the sort
you are describing, just a 13 amp plug with a lead to the base on
which the 'jug' stands.
