hi all
Apologies that this sounds stupid to most. I'm not a qualified electrician, just a diy'er with an interest in electronics.
I'm renovating my kitchen at present, I just removed a double socket with the plan of re-locating it. However i cant work this one out, despite reading my 'Collins Complete DIY' book and searching online lol
When i removed the socket i disconnected all cables. It was fed via 2 2.5mm cables, one coming in vertically, the other looking like it goes out horizontally towards the other double socket on the same wall. However even when disconnected and taped off, all other sockets still work in the kitchen? I thought this would be part of a ring main? Can it be a spur with 2 cables?
This is a quick birdseye 'diagram' of the kitchen and a close up drawing of how the socket is fed.

Thankfully the bother in law is a qualified and registered electrician so he's doing most with my eager eyes watching. Unfortunately he's not around right now and my mind is playing havoc with trying to work it out!
cheers for any help in advance
