Would it act like a spur?
My guess is it would act just like an extension cable, just one bolted to the wall and waterproofed. All other previous caveats would still apply (it's what I would do, but I am not an electrician). I had a single one (a proper socket on the kitchen ring) and bought a double that I got the electrician to fit when he was doing the EICR. Suuuuper handy.

I have done exactly this to run an extension out for use when we have the pool up during the summer, for extra protection I whacked the cable in a bit of ducting I had lying round. I just then unplug it when the pool is not in use.

Ha! I meant from the socket's pov.
Cheers all. Will. Probably go this route then as I can just grab everything from tlc quickly.

Alternatively can you run an extension cable into a proper one?

Ultimately its just 3 cables, right? Or is there something intrinsically different about the functioning of a wall socket vs an extension socket
It'll be cheaper and less faff.
Again its going to be unplugged on the inside end the majority of the time and I can have an rcd on the plug inside.
