    Better off just cutting off the plug and using a couple of forks to plug it into the mains.

    OMG! never do that!!you are using a multi plug, while can be used. You are trying to pull too much power from a wall socket, (OK, the fuse should have blown in the multi plug. But never fully trust them)

    Colly, the plug burned out, the plastic melted a bit. Thus leaving one of the prongs stuck in that picture

    I didn't know that, I thought it was grand as long as the appliances was working, I thought that the fuses on the fuse board would click off if there was a problem... Anyway, guys, thanks for your feedback. :)

    I've had dodgy multi sockets , realised when I read the packaging , there was no safety yoke stamp thingy.
    They can be lethal , please make sure you buy proper ones , not sure of the right way to say that tbh :)

    I just checked the Amp on the burned out adapter, it's a 10amp, I have another adapter and it's 15 amp and it has a fuse in it, do you think that would be OK to use?

    If Retro is no post for a while there will be RIP LOL.

    If you over load an extension lead or have it wound up it can set fire.
