Just FYI, a 32 amp circuit is normally a ring. That's actually a bit more than standard (radial) and a lot of households only have 1 or 2 rings with other circuits that require fewer outlets wired as radials. The actual rating for a breaker is arrived at through some fairly complicated calculations involving the type of circuit/cable/use and the material through which it's routed. All of this is to protect the cable from overheating and catching fire.

Regular 2-gang socket.
We've got a separate consumer unit in the garage which is straight from the supply because we've got two electric car chargers so 100amp fuse. As far as I'm aware, the sockets are on a standard 32amp circuit along with three other double sockets.
