Taking up one of the two sockets whilst doing so, no good if you want

You surely don't have so few sockets in your kitchen you have to unplug
things? On a DIY group?

In our Victorian house, 'galley kitchen' ... on the main (full length)
work top, we have three doubles. The one on the left has the microwave
and toaster, the one in the middle has the kettle and can opener, the
one on the right the hands free phone and TV. Underneath the worktop
is another double for the fridge and freezer.

So, (typically) daughter unplugs one of the middle two to plug in her
phone charger etc. ;-(

On the other side (the sink side) there is another double under the
worktop for the dishwasher and cooker igniter.

Just outside the kitchen, in the utility area are another two doubles,
one has the Dyson charging base and tumble-dryer and the other the
washing machine and a spare, for de-humidifier or whatever.

So, there is no issue other than having a charging point in addition
to the mains sockets that would be resolved, when I get round to
swapping out the main or side sockets for one with a charger built in
(the MK socket that has been sitting there for a couple of years now).
;-(

I have no issues changing it, given I wired the house in the first
place (it only had gas lights). ;-)
