I really need them for one pc which isn't easy to get to to turn off and my newish lcd tv that doesn't have a on-off button only standby and I cant get to back on tv to switch it off. I am trying to save on electric in the long run and fancy a day out anyhow.

The plug in box probably uses more energy to power its receiver than your LCD TV uses on standby!

Does it tr3mor, damn I was hoping to save on power.

I cancelled the trip to Hull. I have two on order at Kingswood Hull for tommorow only as I ordered them on Sunday afternoon and they seem to count that as a full day even when yoiu normally have two days. If anyone wants them I got the reservation number.

Hi,

For people who are finding these hard to find, I think that they have them at the same price in B&Q. I certainly remember seeing them there before Christmas, I'm just not 100% sure on what the price was then (will be now is of course another matter entirely!)

They were by decorations then, which seems sensible given how hard sockets under Christmas trees can be

Hope this helps

hi the remote requires 1 alkaline battery (type 23 AE 12V) .

Do you mean are the lazy plugs easy to get hold of or are the batteries easy to get hold off.

It depends whether your local argos has the plugs in stock as it is part of their christmas range that they are selling off and as for the battery I don't know as we haven't had them long enough to have to change the battery.

Hope this helps

I meant the batteries. The lazy plugs seem to be everywhere but I can't find any info about the batteries. I wouldn't be surprised if they cost a fortune to replace.

For those worried about batteries, the closest match I can find in a description are at Maplins and they are 99p, can't guarantee they are the right ones but sounds about right?
