Want a four way plug that

plugs directly into a socket. So you have a wall socket and plug this in and it converts it to a four way extention. It isn't the ordinary extention lead ones.
I've seen them in brochures which are usually put in magazines, something like Stowes etc but I am sure it was from a Company in Bishops Stortford:confused: but can't think of their name. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

    That sort of thing? Or are you thinking of something like this: http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catalog/images/mtl9718.jpg If so, you need to be in somewhere like wilkinsons where they cost a couple of quid.

    It could have been worse. At least source code's not combustible, or you can bet somebody at McAfee would have lit it.

    No neither of those sorry! Thanks for helping though:T .

    It looks like a flat four way extention lead but without the lead and has a plug in the back so you plug it directly into the socket on the wall and it looks just like four sockets. God I'm not good at explaining am I!!:o You'll think I'm a nutter! lol! Honestly I have seen them for around £25/£30. What on earth is that booklet called:mad: .

    Got the Argos one but it is the wrong one. It has to be fixed to the wall and sticks out a lot more than the one I have seen elsewhere. Thank you very much anyway.
