I think ring main circuits are not a bad way to install your power points, only there is possible downfalls to the system!One regulation i do think they should take a step back on is to increase the amount of spurs off any one socket to maybe two, taken into account the area it is situated this would save unnessarcery joints while exstending the ring.
I often wounder what would happen if a ring circuit was serving close to its carring capacity, and there was to be a break in the ring! Worse still the break could be a loose connection in the circuit breaker device, meaning your 100m2 floor area ring has now become a radial with a cable current carring capacity of around 23 amps (if buried in a wall) with a 32 amp rating on your protection device!!
Just a thought thats all.
