As the title says, but I need a two or three gang socket (preferably with individual switches) where the lead comes in from the left hand side, not the right.
I've checked the usual places, Wickes, B&Q, Screwfix,TLC, ebay. Amazon have them but they look like dodgy far east items. Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Maybe a large tesco, also etc stock them , I have seen them in tesco around less than £10. My local DIY shop sells https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/6111752281858051827?lsf=seller:145263392,store:16676142941265326423&prds=oid:16823567687560967744&hl=en-GB&ei=JbOJYLSvIIqU8gLY95_wCw (https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/6111752281858051827?lsf=seller:145263392,store:16676142941265326423&prds=oid:16823567687560967744&hl=en-GB&ei=JbOJYLSvIIqU8gLY95_wCw)

Edit, sorry, link is to 4 gang, but 3 gang also in stock.
You could buy two double sockets with surface mounting back boxes and a plank of wood.
Why not? I've actually done that! :thumbsup:
When I used to run discos in the early 70s, there were never enough sockets for the kit. I made two extension leads with 3 off twin sockets.
Ah, thems was the days! :headbang:

Did you ever do a gig at Tamworth Football Club Social Club Malc ?
Sorry Joe, never got that far out. Mainly the south side of Birmingham, mainly wedding receptions, birthdays etc.
