    3a FSU downstream of a spur socket from RFC - compliant?

    Have a 3a FSU that feeds an adjacent WC light and fan, wired from a socket that is a spur. Even though we all know that it's safe (no different to having a 3a plug top in the socket), can't quite make up my mind if it's compliant or not. Thoughts?

    Can I add a spur socket myself in Scotland?

    The socket already there is RCD protected and isn't a spur already. I have a socket tester so everything would be done properly then tested. Am I allowed to carry out this work myself? I can't find anything clear on doing this in Scotland, only England and Wales.

    Cannot have a Spur off a spur but can use an extension lead?

    Probably a stupid question but why is it that you cannot (I think) run a spur off a spur but can connect an extension lead with loads of sockets on it? My son needs about six sockets in a new kitchen where there is only one double socket at present. How can it be done? As a matter of interest...
