assess likely usage.Returning to an earlier poster's (somewhat overlooked?) point:-
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=unfused+2+way+adapter&tbm=shop
Unfused 2-way adaptors readily available to buy now cheaply and which will be 'in the wild' for decades. 82 year old Mrs Scroggins buys one and plugs three 3kW heaters into her landing double socket, one for each bedroom. Potential 39A draw on a 27A cable protected by Type B 32A 60898 / 61009. Trip time at 39A is way off the curves, so in excess of 2.5 hours, if ever, during which time the cable is being exposed to about double its permitted heating power.
Yes I appreciate it's exactly the same problem if the socket is a spur off the ring.
but as i says...you can note it...no code.
