Safety advice

[Matthew Campbell]

hi, looking for some professional advice. I am needing more sockets in my room for my games console as my tv and sky box have taken up the only two available. I have suggested to my mum that we get one of these 4 socket extension bars from argos but she does not think they are safe.

Any advice on whether these are safe or not?

Thanks

Matthew

Buzz me old matey, do you think, for the new year, you could try and make your posts a bit more coherent? I know you are probably using a mobile device but a lot of your replies just lately are a bit naff on the old grammar front. Us old gits have this nasty habit of reading back what we have written before committing it to the ether.....
There are standards to maintain, its what keeps us apart from plumbers and other lesser forms of life.

That is an absolutely appalling use of commas, pronoun use and poor capitalisation. You should be ashamed of yourself.

sorry oz your write, will stop using Morse code. will try to get a signal when I leave this jungle.
extension bar, what was I thinking . I should have said is a 6 way extension lead, or leaving it on the floor, write sir.

"Right", it's "right" Buzzy lad, as in "correct", not "write", as in "write to your MP". Don't they teach you owt in school these days??

There's a lot of people like to scaremonger over the use of multi-socket extension leads unfortunately. A few consoles and a couple of monitors and you'd be lucky to exceed a 3A fuses capability. Who on earth is going to get a sparky out to start extending ring finals every time. Daz
