Brits urged to use plug adapter hack that will make their summer holiday much easier

We can't believe we'd never thought of this before

While the thought of going on our summer holidays is often one of the only things that keeps us going during the cold winter, packing can be a bit of a minefield.

After all, you have to make sure you've got everything you need for your trip, but also want to save space for souvenirs.

And, with a lot of us carrying our smartphones, tablets, laptops and wireless headphones everywhere we go, you'll need a good few adapters to keep all your electronics charged up and ready to use.

At least, you did.

Now, one savvy holidaymaker has shared a super simple plug adapter hack on social media and it's blowing people's minds.

A couple of years back, Sasha, from Nottingham, revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that rather than chucking multiple travel adapters in her case, she just packs one and an extension lead with several sockets to make sure she's got ample outlets for her electronics.

She wrote: "Am I the only person who takes an extension lead on holidays instead of taking a dozen plug adaptors?"

Since she posted her tweet, it has been liked more than 9,000 times and received more than 1,000 retweets.

Hundreds of people have since commented on the post thanking Sasha for bringing this into their lives.

One person wrote: "This legit has just blown my mind! Why have I never thought of this."

Tagging her mate into the comment, a second said: "We are doing this on holiday because I'm sick of never having enough plug sockets near the mirror."

A third user put: "This is genius! I'll be doing this from now on. To be honest I can't believe I didn't ever think of this before."

While a fourth person commented: "This is such a good idea! Get one packed in those suitcases for next week!"

Another said: "I only started doing this few years ago - can't believe I'd never thought of it before."

Of course, Sasha wasn't the first person to think of the nifty travel tip, with some saying they had been doing it for ages.

One smug traveller said: "Done this since the 90s - you only need one adaptor that way. [sic] Obviously everyone else does this too, right?"

Another said: "We have always done this on holiday, we take one for us and one for the kids and it saves so many arguments."

While a third forward-thinking person commented: "Yes - we have one with built in USB chargers. Don't forget to take your kettle and teabags too."

How had we not thought of this before?
