Adding a spur to a spur

[Zahid1986]

I have a socket which is connected off the main circuit ring.

Just wanted to know if it's possible to add another socket spurring off this second socket?

(Please see attached image.)

If it's against regulations, then
1) what's the worst that could happen? (Will my circuits blow up?)

2) what's the best alternative and what size wiring will I need?

Thanks

It is an interesting phenomena that anyone other than a bona fida time served electrician with at least 100 years of experience is incapable of altering a ring circuit and it remaining a ring circuit on completion.
Given that a circuit really does not get any simpler, just a big loop, it really does defy logical explanation.
Kev is the worst offender, I have never, ever come across a kitchen ring altered by Kev that is still a ring. It should be a legal requirement that any sockets altered or installed by Kev must have the OCPD reduced to a maximum 20a. Mind you, Kev would see that as a green light to wire his multiple spurs in 1.0mm.....so prap's not.
