Cool

he needs a thingy so that he can plug more things into one plug I think, surely you can get them from Halfords or any car shop.

Halfords do 'em, but they all seem to be on the end of a wire and need to be fixed somewhere

I bought one in the US that was a bit like a socket doubler - much better design as you can completely remove it when not needed. Dunno if you can get them here though

If ya fancy a Halfords 3-way with wire (for free) then let me know and i'll bring it down to the HollySUL meet on Sunday

Mst lrn 2 tlk SMS b4 then
