So what happens now is that artists plug their own mains extension cable
into a socket in the corridor outside the dressing room and under the

Yup - this is exactly what some do for drying/clipping hair in their

I've oft wondered if a transformer isolated 13 amp socket - 3kW isolating
transformer - would conform to the current regs?
