   Assuming the new socket is going somewhere between two others, cut the   
   cable leaving some spare where the new one goes, then run in new cable to   
   the next. Or new cable from the two existing sockets to the new. I don't   
   believe in saving pennies.

   Crimped connections correctly made are by far and away the best method of   
   connection. Have you not noticed every single loom on a car, aircraft,   
   computer etc is made this way?

   There are JBs that conform to the regs when not accessible as regards the   
   regs.   
      
   Strange you're putting yourself forward as an expert in domestic wiring by   
   contradicting the regs. Could you give your qualifications for this?
