Given most sockets are needed for piddling low current stuff (power

Fine if whatever they're feeding conceals them. Otherwise, look like
a bodge.

Ours are shoved behind/under sofas and chairs. Not in sight at all.
With an added bonus that you don't need to move furniture to get to
them.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? ;-)

No. If you need to move something plugged in, you just find the
multiplug, which is 1m (at least) away from the socket, and do the
necessary there.

Beats trying to find a spare plug socket which is invariably as far
behind a heavy sofa as possible.

That's the beauty of DIY. You situate sockets and switches where they are
needed. Not where an electrician guesses.

Just a tip ... I'm too old to give any ****s about making anybodies life
easier except my own

Quite right.

If you took pics of the rooms here empty, it would be similar to that
estate agent's pics. You wouldn't know why the sockets etc were situated
where they are.
