Not convinced a two way adaptor is as safe - especially for something that
is normally left plugged in.

Agreed. Our local fire service bods really, really don't like two (or
more) way adaptors.

I have to confess to wiring two bedside lights to one standard 13 amp
plug, ensuring the cable grip holds both cables and max. 3 amp fuse
fitted. So many gadgets these days. Two double sockets, one either
side of the bed, two bedside lights, clock radio, electric blanket,
phone charger equals five plugs and four sockets.
