Must have been a glitch somewhere then Mate, when I worked for them the stock control was very good.
It’s not stock control, it’s whats on the shelf in the local stores ...... not in the central stores

Ok, I must have my thick head on today.
Why, if you can get to the back box of the socket not just extend from the socket itself?
I think I'll go with crimp, finally unpack my brand new crimper
Plus I'm a cheapskate.
Stock control in the Screwfix outlets are controlled, updated on a daily basis, from personal experience, I can vouch for their product maintainability.It’s not stock control, it’s whats on the shelf in the local stores ...... not in the central stores
If they are the standard red/blue/yellow crimps, they are not designed for use on solid conductors and do not provide any guarantee of a good, long lasting connection.
For solid cores you should be using uninsulated indent crimps and then the necessary good quality heatshrink sleeving to insulate them.
For extending rings in back boxes I find the Ideal in-line splices are fantastic...

Last time I checked, there were many crimp manufacturers that state their crimps are suitable for solid conductors.
