Inspired by the inverter thread, I thought I would count the number of leads I have.

One for the mobile - used occasionally.
One for the EeePc - used rarely.
One for a travel mug -used rarely.
One for a rechargeable spotlight - used rarely.
One for a deioniser - never used.
One for the punctured tyre inflator supplied with the car.

That's six, all with different plugs on the appliance end, whch is something of an achievement in itself.

How many leads/chargers/cigarette lighter gadgets do you have?

Trafficmaster, GPS camera detector, Laser/radar detector... in permanent use.

Occasional use for (my personal) phone and bluetooth as and when needed.

So i've got a 4 ganger socket, but 3 in full time use.

That of course doesn't include all the electronics the company thinks we should use all day, that would be a very exhaustive list.

PDA cradle is wired in.
One for Nokia phone - rarely used
One for bluetooth GPS - only used on long journeys when the charge runs down)
One for Siemens phone (for colleagues travelling with me so very rarely used not)
One for cold box. Rarely used except when on holiday.

1-3 extension lead for when I need more than one - usually GPS and cold box.
