Yes - the one in the hall does work & is a NYNEX socket. I've not even tried the one in the bedroom which I want rid of, but looking at the wires entering & exiting it I'd imagine it does work.

Have had a look at the front of the house outside too. From the brown cable box on the front wall - two separate cables of different thicknesses (obviously 1 x TV & 1 x phone) exit upwards & through the wall into my bedroom & into the gubbins shown in my 2nd photo of my bedroom socket.

And two separate cables of different thicknesses (obviously 1 x tv & 1 x phone)exit rightwards & round the front of my house though the wall to the TV point in the lounge

Which could lead me to conclude that both the bedroom & lounge sockets are masters. Therefore I might be able to disconnect the bedroom one after all assuming that these phone systems run in parallel as opposed to series? i.e. independant of each other & not on one big circuitary loop?

Oh aye - I've just noticed the BT logo on the inside of the cover of the box in the hall. The top half on the frontage of the box does say NYNEX though I promise you. Looks like someones been doing some 'butchering'...
