Not if you leave the plug inDoes it really dribble out of the lower side of the socket overnight?
well from a guy who needs socket screws with the slots facing the same way i think you know my answer
.................
And cheese, I used to have a real thing against blocks of cheese cut anything but suare, id have to cut the block so it had square sides before i could cut any slices from it.
I had a torpedo level which made one set of shelves level...next set not...then realised it read differently depending on which side was facing the wall...
AWW You have spoiled my belief, told to me by my Dad and as far as I knew, he was always right,My spirit level was always inaccurate until I found it had been fitted with a metric bubble instead of an imperial one.
without standing on the joints of any floor-tiles of course.
Having spent years telling the family to turn off un-used mains adapters / chargers, I am more than a little unsure about those double 13A outlets with USB power supplies built in.I've ordered a non USB one with the outboard switches, so it matches in shape and layout
I did consider another USB one, but they are £14 so you know my feelings about that

So how's that work? They are not shuttered like an isolated 'shaver' socket so there can be no mechanical switch there fore I assume that the little PSU powered all the time just sitting there consumming power and waiting to melt in the way cheep wall adapters do. (Re. Malcolm's recent experiance with phone chargers)As far as I know, they only activate when there is a demand, so as soon as the phone etc is unplugged it switches off
Hum, are there any known makes, all I have seen are DIY shed home brands, I don't think I have seen say MK or Crabtree which kind of re-enforced my mis trust in them.I *believe* it senses the current draw, using a chopped up USB cable it wouldn't give a reading on my multimeter until I plugged a phone in to the other socket, then I got 5v
