I've been looking to buy a cheap USB charger in local shops for ages but nobody seems to sell them!! Cheapest seems to be this for £7 from Curries. However I got this on ebay for £2 In Maplin they are nearly £20! It charges 3 ports not just one as well, you need a 3 amp fused shaver adaptor for it though but you can get them for a £1 or 2 etc.... Plus with it being 2 pin I knew it would fit through the letter box, I don't think 3 pin plugs will, well some will as I got one with a shaver chord I bought on ebay, but that was a mini plug. Indeed shaver chords are another thong which are expensive, that one says it has a EU plug but it fits in a UK shaver adaptor, they sent me an EU shaver adaptor as well anyway. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311092315044?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AITYou can also get this one for £1 if you order the pink one, seems pink is not too popular, however it save you £1. However it is from China so will take 3-4 week to arrive. I order one anyway, 99p is nothing. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322226311756?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=511129444825&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

This is what it look like, the room is not pitch black it is just the camera adjusting for the brightness of the LEDS.

Actually it just exploded today!!!
Quite frightening!!
I had unplugged it and then I plugged it back in again.
However I had reverse the pins, it turned it 180 degrees.
That should not matter but there was a flash of light and a "pop" which I felt in my hand as well as hear it.
Anyhow gave me a bit a of a shock (metaphorally speaking, not real electric shock)
Hence I would AVOID buying these!!
Also the charger that came with my amazon tablet maybe the same.
They wanted me to return it but I never did, maybe I should stop using it though.
Indeed I will, but proper one's are quite expense.
I was also using it with an infused shaver adaptor which did not help although I think there is a fuse in the extension socket somewhere (need to check), that didn't blow anyway!
