Hi, New to this, just looking for some advice. I have a Spur switch located outside of my bathroom connected to a towel rail inside my bathroom. I am looking to replace the Spur switch with a socket and have the towel rail an actual plug. This way I can place a smart plug between them to enable some smart home automation. I'm confused however because when I've changed plug sockets in the past they are similar to light fittings in that they just have 3 cables (live, neutral and earth).

I expect to see 6 cables in the Spur currently (3 for the power and 3 for the rail) however I see 9 (3xL, 3xN, 3xE), is anybody able to help identify these cables at all or what they are all doing?

I thiunk I have identified the towel rail as the cables are thinner but I do not know why there are 2 Live cables going into the same connection in the Spur, same with the neutrals and earths
 
That could be rather true.

What are the NICEIC and Elecsa doing with all the "mandatory" insurance payments they are receiving?
