Flex for fixed wiring

Is this still going? Wait till he find out I still say omnibus instead of bus.

I know that. That is why I wrote above:

"It WAS the full name for a plug because a socket WAS called a plug. We have moved on now and those old terms are no longer appropriate or correct."

People need to move into the 21st century.

You need to let go mate! It happens all the time.

Went on a bit this post but in my opinion if someone has mounted a back box and socket front to a wall wired it in flex but has fitted a PLUG to the end of it this is just an extension lead as it can be disconnected by removing the plug rendering the socket dead.
The second one sounds like the OP may of meant wired into the back of a socket in which case this would be deemed dangerous as it is wired in 1.5mm flex acting as a spur but will have no means of isolation or protection in the event of a fault as it has been hardwired into the back of a socket which is part of the fixed wiring of the house and will more than likely be connected to a 32 amp cb rendering the 1.5mm flex unsuitable and the weakest link.
If that is the case it would be automatically disconnected and the owner would be told why.
