[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 446291, member: 6969"] Where I did my apprenticeship there was a safety bulletin about overloading a socket. The picture showed something like that with stacked 3 way adaptors. Each plug had two flexes going into it. But that still wasn't enough so the last bit of kit, they had stripped the flex back, L into one plug, N into another and E into a third plug as none of the plugs would fit a third complete flex. I currently have my office set up in an un finished room in the new house. A single extension lead ending with a 3 way adaptor. Each of the 3 outlets from the 3 way adaptor feeds a 6 way socket strip. What could possibly be wrong with that? [/QUOTE]
