How ever it is becoming more common to have the kitchen (and thus all
those appliances) on it's own ring, then two others for "up stairs"
and "down stairs".

When I had my kitchen re-done recently I took the opportunity to split off
the kitchen sockets as a separate ring. My main motivation was to be able to
supply it from a separate RCD as, in my experience, kitchen appliances are
the major cause of nuisance tripping.
