    UK slimline electrical extension leads for the UK?

    Does anyone know of a UK plug socket extender/extension lead which protrudes minimally from the wall so that furniture can be pushed back against it? There's several options for Euro/USA markets but I can't find anything for the UK. Thanks in advance, Jim.

    extension leads - earth leakage

    Hi all, I can't understand why but I always get a small (minimum 0.06mA) earth leakage reading on extension leads (even without surge protection). Is this normal? If it is, please could someone explain how earth leakage occurs on a simple extension lead? Thanks
