So I guess mine is really bad news. I plug the electrics for my shed
(when ocassionaly required) in to a socket in my porch, the cable goes
outdoors overhead suspended on a wire to my shed.
If I need to sell will just unplug and rip the cable down.


My neice has exactly this setup in place permanently. She runs a chest
freezer and a tumble drier from it, and it's been plugged in for over
6 years without trouble.


As I understood it, provided the supply was plugged in and not wired in,
it was classed as a portable appliance and not notifyable anyway? S


I have seen that suggested several times, but generally speaking if its
a permanent installation, making the final connection via a plug does
not really get round the rules as they were at the time.
