Never leave a lit candle unattended

There's a rule to go by. One socket = One plug.

But you definitely need the plug.

Please, never do this. It's extremely dangerous.

#DFB12Days

With Christmas decorations in full swing it's important you don’t overload an extension lead, use up to 13amps only.

Avoid block adapters.

Unplug when you’ve finished with your device or the battery is charged.
