    Diy extension lead 2.5mm twin &earth?

    Thanks have decided to just use 2.5mm twin earth and just take a 13amp fused spur from that socket and run the cable clipped direct 5 metres to skirting board same as I was going to but instead of a plug on end ill just put it into the rear of the supply socket. Does this sound better?
