I have a plug in the living room that is quite difficult to get to at this stage - Its just a plug socket, with no on / off switch.
I am considering plugging an extension lead in and leaving it plugged in, so that the socket actually gets some use, as that part of the room has no accessible power sockets.
The extension lead cable would run under the sofa and the sockets would be pushed under the sofa when not in use and pulled out when needed.
Is this safe leaving an extension lead plugged in permanently?
The cable will probably make contact with the lining under the sofa as will the sockets when they are pushed back under. Is that a problem?
Is it costing money, considering nothing is actually drawing power from it?
Thanks
