Hello peeps,
I have an empty fireplace which I would like to put all my stuff (DVD Player, Virgin box, Router, Modem, Wii, Amplifier, CD Player), and on the chimney breast I plan to hang the TV.
I would like to have all the stuff plugged in at the back of the chminey breast, and a single switch of some sort on the side of the chimney breast which will turn them all on or off.
Can I take a spur from a nearby double socket, which will go to this main switch, then use the switch to control one of these...

....or something similar.
Is that possible/legal. If yes, can you tell me what type of switch I should use? If not, why not?
Many thanks,
ETFairfax
