Multiple Ring Spurs.

well perhaps it employs the benefits of the ring but reduces cable therefore copper use although it will use a lot of JBs .

in the past the mindset (quite understandably to some degree) was materials were expensive, sometimes rare or hard to source, and labour was cheap.

To try and change our mindset from what "always was" to what actually is can be a struggle sometimes


Just one example,

in my area social services/occupational therapists often asked me, on a rewire, to put sockets nearer hand height on the wall rather than "just above the skirting or this "new fangled" 12 inch above the floor. Also gang switches together say top bottom of stairs a 3 gang switch rather than folk walk into a room to switch light on then walk back to switch last light off then back into room again. In my town folk had the mindset of switches in rooms wheras neighbouring town the mindest tended to be gang switches "because that was the way it`s always been cos all our houses were done that way" regarding lightswitches. And pull switches in bedrooms a lot of folk were used to calling them "lazy switches" or even "lazy Betty switches" (who the heck was Betty) and therefore thought it lazy to be able to switch the "Big Light" off whilst in bed, they would rather beggar about walking to switch by door and use a table lamp becasuse "it`s always done that way".

Funny things them humans.
