Especially since kettles only run for a few minutes. I guess the only
real potential problem is from high-power portable electric heaters
(which aren't used so much now)?


You are looking at a 20A load on a double socket for one hour before you
get
problems. The same problem occurs if the socket is on the ring or a spur.

I remember that. How long at 26 A?


What do you plan to run at 26A 92 x 13A) for an hour?

The worst case scenario is still a buggered double socket.

Me? Nothing. But there's nothing to stop someone from plugging two 3
kW heaters in. I agree with you that it's unlikely.
