    Question for the hive mind.

    I think there was a box on Dragons Den that would do. All the dragons. Reamed their pants over it. Cannot recall the name though, sorry. It was like a dry liner but deeper and accessories fitted deep down inside it so it accommodates the plug as s well as the socket
