Glad you were SO interested in it that you just had to pass such a touching comment. Nice specs btw.

Why not? In Britain we used to manufacture basic household goods to a very high standard, and it wasn't seen as joke when that was the case.. It's OK I know you're only joking but, see my point, manufacturing was something Britain was proud of.. and people would proudly take apprenticeships, be part of the trade of producing items like this that people use in their homes.. if you could project back, the humourous element of comments like that would get a "huh?" reaction, as it would be lost on people dismayed by the cost of housing, inequality, superfluous consumer garbage people surround themselves with, and all the other consequences of exploiting cheap overseas labour at the expense of quality and our own economy..
I'm tempted by the price of this, but I've seen teardowns of cheap chinese extensions and quite shocking the build quality, and I don't know if this is one of those dodgy ones or built to a better standard..
Presumably it has to meet the very basic EU standards.. for now.. :neutral_face:

will it keep stable to have plugs on it?

Bought one of these from CPC 5 years ago for the living room. It has had 7 devices plugged in constantly with the other 3 used irregularly and never had a problem.

MOST of the items sold in British shops come from CHINA, DODGY European or other third world countries because our "TRUSTY" politicians have encouraged the SELL OFF AND GIVE AWAY of Britain to others to make the rich RICHER.

Great deal. It is better to get something like this from CPC rather than on eBay where you might get a cheaper one but a chinese import that hasn't had the required testing/certifications to ensure it is safe.

Far too many sellers from China trading from university halls of residence and far too many sellers stating they are in the UK but don't publish UK addresses so the ONLY contact is in China with UNREADABLE addresses in Chinese . Also far too many Chinese and other foreign sellers trading under as many as 20 different names selling the same items at differing prices and ebay don't seem to be bothered .

Not surge protected so i wouldn't plug lots of stuff into it anyway.
Amazon reviews also state its a bit wobbly too so may want to make sure any heavier plugs are at the base.
Good price I suppose, tenner on Amazon
