For reasons I don't know when I moved in, my garage/garden and utility room are powered from the same spur which I have to swap bewteen with a 3pin plug to select either powering the garage/garden or the utility room. I can imagine this is so I don't keep blowing the fuse if I had the tumble/washing machine/fridge/freezer/lawnmower/lights and bench grinder all running together.  Until I can get a new fuse box in and change this to a new ring including both, can anyone suggest a swith which has 2 power out options from 1 power in, rather than having to plug and swap the 3 pin?
