Amazing heard on the radio this morning about not overloading sockets apparently there are over 200 fires a year caused by overloading sockets.

Ther point with this set up is that anyone removing one of the plugs will be at risk of the 230V which will be present at the live pin as long as the other plug remains in as well!

That's terrible, obvious to use 3 x 13 amp plugs on the end !!!

I think not.

Funny you should mention FOC diesel, me and my better half were just discussing the other day that what with the price of fuel it probably wont be too long till we see news of the first tanker hijack IMO

if it charges at 20a for 8 hours.... that would be 5KW so 12p/unit 60p hr still less than a fiver....

But in real life i bet a lot more. I read about various charge rates & if you put your foot down it seems to really sap the batteries.
