Does something like this exist?
Basically, I'm looking for a power strip that would have US plugs on it (to plug in all my US electronics), but that can then be plugged directly into the wall in the UK without an adapter.
Someone over on LJ said that they just plugged in their US power strip into a $4 "converter" while they were in Ireland and they didn't have problems....but I'm looking at my US power strips, and NONE of them say on them 110-240V, they all just say 120V. So I'm thinking the LJer is doing something rather dangerous, as I assume "$4 converter" means just the plug adapter and no transformer (like what you'd use on a laptop or mobile).
I also saw at B&Q you could buy the components to "build your own" power strip, and I'm sure they have the same components at Home Depot. Would it be possible to combine the components and make one on our own? (Tim is familiar with electronics so he'd be able to do it)
It's not absolutely necessary, as most of my electronics are rated for both (laptop, mobile, portable wifi device, ipod, external HD), but if it were possible, that would be pretty nice.
