Use Wago or similar, not those horrible choc block things...

This may look expensive on the face of it however they will cover most options in your house and are rated for up to 32 amps: https://www.screwfix.com/p/wago-lever-connector-set-32a-85-pieces/2305r

Thanks for the suggestion, I've ordered a box they're just what I need.

There's a double socket in the next room at the same height and distance in so I'll have to have a look and see if there connected in some way.

Thanks, if I come up against something I don't understand rest assured I'll get an electrician in, as Clint Eastwood said, a man's got to know his limitations.

Some places find that sockets in the bathroom are the way to go...

Obviously the low level socket is nearly 15cm from the edge of the wash basin, ideal for my straighteners, and the higher level hairdryer and shaver socket make sense too as they are miles away from the basin...

and while I am talking Spanish electrics,

as a total amateur, what are the 3 chaps at the right? I am guessing they are to do with the card-switch system, so when you put your card in the slot so you can use the lights etc these activate the circuits for them and the sockets and aircon? Clearly that wee slotty thing can't carry the load on its own. Or am I talking rubbish...

it's important to take care of one's appearance, as Mrs Pirate keeps telling me, hence I had my hair cut last week...
always have it cut twice a year whether I need it or not.
You can't go swashbuckling with untidy hair!

They are contractors ( basically relays). As you say, the card thingy can’t cope with all the current, so it just switches the contractors on and the contactors turn on the main circuits.

Thanks for that clarification Taylor2Cs!
Naturally, the hotels like to save electricity, so I would never use my Tesco card to keep the aircon on while down at the beach...

Oh well, here's one more pic from my recent trip...it's a toilet roll dispenser...

on this occasion I came up two short...
