  • So I shouldn't be plugging my oil-filled radiator into an extension lead, which is plugged into a 3-way multi-plug?  Unfortunately, my new "office" (dining room) only has one double socket to power everything.


    In my defence, it's only a little radiator, 1.2kW maximum, and the only other things on that socket are a laptop, monitor and a few lights.


    But if you want to see proper daisy-chaining, there's my home computer desk that I'm sitting at now.  But there's no heaters there.  Just computer kit.  And more lights.
