Just make sure any appliance plug/
socket remains correctly positioned, eg, 2-core shielded socket on
the supply side.

Not like the firm I once worked for who decided they needed a
Portakabin. Instead of connecting it via the perfectly acceptable
fuseboard, they made an extension lead with two plugs on it and "jump-
started" the thing.

Gave me the willies.

that was common a good few years ago, the lead to my garage was like that
when I moved in, I guessed it might have been suggested in a magazine or
something.
