@Sallyoil, just ignore that thread. No one can predict with any kind of certainty which of the suggestions that have been made in your own thread on your power socket question would be the best choice. And I'm very doubtful that you would be going wrong with any of them. Also, if you Google "UK power outlet strips" you’ll probably find many additional choices.
Whatever value the "Cable Snake Oil Antidote" thread may provide has little if any relevance to your application or to your stated budget. Your question was in fact a simple one, as you initially presumed.
And welcome to Audiogon!
Best regards,
