   Unless you care to explain what you mean?... After is one is not   
   going to add a spur one has to make a joint in the ring, now that   
   can either be crammed into the back of the existing socket,   
   cold-welded [1] (which is an abortion that should not be allowed   
   by the regs, certainly not in a domestic environment were   
   inspections might be few and fare between, but is) and then   
   buried or made using a some form of accessible -although hidden-   
   junction box. Of course and as I said, but was snipped by the   
   groups apparent new troll, one can move one half of the existing   
   ring to the new socket outlet -assuming that it will reach.
