Thanks Dave_DPH and BenMcr for the replies.
I did mention it to Virgin when I booked the connection date but I'm not totally certain if they fully understood that due to wiring issues I don't want the second socket to be a simple slave off the first.
Oh well, if they want to charge extra for the second socket I'll be a bit annoyed especially after having explained the situation as best I could.
I'll report back here with the outcome when I'm back online via cable :-)

Thanks
