Hi Westward: Far as I know they're all double insulated nowadays, not seen 1 with an Earth for many years.
Bet you someone will come along & tell us now, that X company still makes them :)
 
They're heading down the route of rechargeable battery power these days like most power tools, so no cable to cut through all together.

Now do we need a separate circuit for the socket used to charge the lawnmower battery?

Definately and you should also TT it:D
 
When I had my house re-wired back in the early noughties, I had an outside socket fitted to plug the mower etc into. He fitted a socket with a cover and wired it into one of the two downstairs rings (kitchen and the rest). This seems perfectly okay to me - unless anyone can tell me differently?

Is it a Spur?
Is it a Spur off of a Spur?
Is it part of the RFC i,e, not a Spur?

Providing the circuit he connected it to is protected by a 30mA RCD, and assuming it is wired as a spur where the external socket is the only accessory, then yes it should be fine.
 
just stick a "FAIL" sticker on it and wait for the shyte to hit the fan.
