2m04s "Never seen a socket with two earth terminals?" - I don't believe him.

I've seen sockets with two earth points, but electrically they have all
been connected. You just use the best placed one. I've never seen one with
one terminal *per socket* meaning that both *must* be hard wired for a
proper earth connection.

Indeed - that's because they don't exist, barring the crap coming out of
China like Clive found.



We were taught on a ring main to put one earth into each terminal, that
way if a terminal fails, you still have a CPC to the socket faces, but
of course no loop continuity around the ring.
