This is insane.* Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these
laws) you cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to
your own home, but you can change the brakes on your car.* The second
one is FAR more dangerous to other people!

Not helped by it being wrong

You CAN add an extra socket as a spur yourself (subject to it being a
valid place to add a spur)

It's adding socket as part of the ring that you can't do

You CAN add sockets to a ring. You can even extend the ring (as I did
from my living room to avoid putting in a new circuit to the
conservatory, so avoiding involving either an electrician or the council).
