‘Temporary’ power supply to Garden Shed

Long ago, and far away, I served a five year apprenticeship as an electrician. However, I have not "worked on the tools" for many a long year and so i don't have any of the new-fangled certifications. I have it in mind to circumvent the certification by simply running a "temporary" supply to a shed for light a very small power (no heating load). What I would like to do is change the outside 13 amp socket on my patio to a BS4343 15 amp socket. From that I would run an armoured flexible lead (2.5 or 4) to the back of the shed. The end of the lead at the shed will have a trailing socket fitted to it. I would mount a two-way board within the shed, which would connect to the trailing socket via a short armoured flexible lead. The patio socket has earth leakage protection and is spurred of the kitchen ring. My concern is that the 15amp socket will not have a fused plug into it. Any comments? Regards Philip
